Hi,
I have F18 on an i686 PC.
I have changed my boot up sequence from logical volumes to regular partitions.
Upon regenerating the grub2 boot process, the grub2 keeps creating a
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg file that refers to the non-existing logical volumes.
Hence, the boot process fails with a dracut-initqueue error.
Here is what I have done:
The system partitions are in logical volumes on a small hard disk
(/dev/VolGroup/lv_root, /dev/VolGroup/lv_var, /dev/VolGroup/lv_tmp etc.).
The home directory is on a separate big 1GB harddisk as regular partition.
The small system harddisk showed signs of break down; I repartitioned the 1GB
disk to also include the system:
sda1 256MB /boot
sda2 4GB /
sda3 1GB swap
sda4 Extended
sda5 4GB /var
sda6 1GB /tmp
sda7 50GB /srv
sda8 871GB /home
For that I copied all the files from the logical volumes to the new partitions.
I then prepared the new boot sequence after booting from a live USB boot medium:
# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
# mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/var
# mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/tmp
# mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
# mount -t sysfs sys /mnt/sys
# mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
# chroot /mnt /bin/bash
Then I do in the chroot I do:
# grub2-install /dev/sda
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
# exit
then 'unmount' everything and reboot.
In the boot I
dracut-initqueue[109]: Warning: Could not boot.
I also regenerated the initramfs file with dracut; to no avail.
Why does the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg still have entries to the logical volumes?
(See below).
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Rob.
