Re: FAI Stable release 3.4.4 available
[...] Sorry, I forgot to actually attach 10-setup, as I had promised. Here it is. Just tested the script. Seems to work. Fine! Thanks a lot for testing! But: I get an error (which seems like an warning to me) after... GRUB loading. Welcome to GRUB! error: no such device: [UUID] error: no such disk. error: no suitable mode found. ... and before the Grub-Menu is shown (which clears the output). System boots fine also with just the second disk and it may only be a minor problem but it's just not nice. After digging around a bit it seems to come from /etc/grub.d/00_header or to be more precise from the line /usr/sbin/grub-probe --target=device /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 (as the parameter for prepare_grub_to_access_device). It returns vgroup-usr (why?). With this parameter for prepare_grub_to_access_device the following code (for grub.cfg) is finally generated: insmod raid insmod mdraid insmod lvm insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(vgroup-usr)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set [UUID] I have absolutely no idea what the intension of this part of the code should be and why grub-probe returns vgroup-usr in the first place... (but set root='(group-usr)' looks terribly wrong.) I then removed these lines from grub.cfg and still got the same error-lines. I then manually did: % /usr/sbin/grub-install --no-floppy --modules=lvm raid /dev/sd[ab] And guess what. Sill the same error-lines. I am lost. Where does is come from? I have to admit. I looks like a problem in Grub, not FAI. But I still hope you (or someone) has a clue what the problem could be. (This error-lines are not shown with my version of 10-setup). Sorry for being a bit late; could you still do another test? Could you try to remove the lvm in the modules parameter? This is just a wild guess, but vgroup-usr just looks so LVM-like...

Here it is. hello - i've been spending some time with GRUB_PC/10-setup recently as well and have a couple observations: * according to grub-install(8), INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename. so i'm not sure that the logic to translate $BOOT_DEVICE to ($grub_dev) is necessary (in my testing it seemed to not be req'd). * in my builds with lucid, installing to an md appears to be broken (i believe in karmic maverick as well). see LP #462171: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/462171 thank you! andy -- andrew bezella abeze...@archive.org Internet Archive
