Subject: grub2: doesn't work on Debian PowerPC Package: grub2 Severity: normal
I tried installing grub2 the way I'm used to for grub 1: > sudo grub-install --root-directory=/boot/grub /dev/hda1 /grub-mkimage: Not found. > The I read /usr/share/doc/grub2/README.Debian and tried this: > grub-mkimage -v -d /usr/share/grub/powerpc-pc/ -o /tmp/core.img _chain ext2 > xfs grub-mkimage: error: cannot open /usr/share/grub/powerpc-pc//kernel.elf > So I checked the path against the installed files (via 'dpkg -L grub2 | grep kernel') and found that this should work: > grub-mkimage -v -d /usr/lib/grub/powerpc-ieee1275 -o /tmp/core.img _chain ext2 xfs grub-mkimage: info: copying segment 0, type 1 grub-mkimage: info: writing 0xc490 bytes at offset 0xa0 grub-mkimage: info: copying segment 1, type 1685382481 grub-mkimage: info: writing 0x0 bytes at offset 0x0 grub-mkimage: info: getting the size of /usr/lib/grub/powerpc-ieee1275/_chain.mod grub-mkimage: error: cannot stat /usr/lib/grub/powerpc-ieee1275/_chain.mod > So please do these 2 things: 1. make sure grub-install works 2. Update the documentation 3. Add documentation about automatically installing new kernels (like grub1 has) Regards, Sven -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-23-k7 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
