Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98-1
Hello,
congratulations to Albin (#542425), but the problem is still valid
for me.
I am running Debian testing with everything up to date (eccept the
kernel, which i cannot use due to this bug).
It all started a few days ago after an apt-get update.
Since that time, grub shows no background-picture on boot (which is no
problem for me) and update-grub doesnt work:
“# update-grub
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev
mounted?).”
Yes, surely it is. Look here:
“# cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
none /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
none /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
none /dev devtmpfs rw,relatime,size=508048k,nr_inodes=127012,mode=755 0
0
none /dev/pts devpts
rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 0 0
/dev/mapper/Taschenrechner-root / ext3
rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0
tmpfs /lib/init/rw tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 rw,relatime,errors=continue 0 0
/dev/dm-3 /home ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0
fusectl /sys/fs/fuse/connections fusectl rw,relatime 0 0”
I ran # apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.26-2-686
and got (german environment):
“(Lese Datenbank ... 172972 Dateien und Verzeichnisse sind derzeit

So you can install kernel after kernel, but none of them will be
displayed in the grub2 menu.
And for whatever reason /dev/hda has moved to /dev/sda on my system.
What i tried but didnt help is:
1 # echo change > /sys/block/dm-X/uevent (with all dm-[0-3])
2 I manually edited /boot/grub/device.map to contain sda instead of hda
and did
# grub-setup --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map /dev/sda
It both made no difference.
Please tell me, how to provide more details.
Best Regards
Miche
PS: Is there a way to get grub2 running or should i return back to good
old grub “legacy” which never hurted me and is easily configurable?
