(adding bug-grub@) Hello,
I've created an md root partition on a couple of drives and installed grub in the master boot record the usual way: mount --bind /dev /newroot/dev mount --bind /sys /newroot/sys mount --bind /proc /newroot/proc chroot /newroot grub-install /dev/sda grub-install /dev/sdb exit # umount everything and reboot After this, the machine won't boot off the new drives. It will simply hang with a black screen after the POST, when the grub menu would normally come up. It looks almost like the mbr can't locate the blocks to load next. I also tried booting off a USB stick and using --boot-directory from the live distro rather than chrooting. I also tried specifying '(hd0)' and '(hd1)' instead of the device nodes. This is grub_1.99-21ubuntu3.1 on Precise. The md is raid1 with metadata 0.90 and the filesystem is ext4 with the flex_bg and uninit_bg features. I used this trick a million times with all versions of grub and this is the first time I observe such behavior. Any ideas? -- _ // Bernie Innocenti \X/ http://codewiz.org _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
