Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98+20100527-1 Severity: wishlist I am looking at the following output of a grub-pc reconfigure on a lab machine:
Note: It is possible to install GRUB to partition boot records as
well. However, this forces GRUB to use the blocklist mechanism,
which makes it less reliable, and therefore is not recommended.
1. /dev/vda 2. /dev/vdb 3. /dev/vdc 4. /dev/vdd 5. /dev/vde
6. /dev/vdf 7. /dev/sda 8. /dev/sdb 9. /dev/sdc 10. /dev/sdd
11. /dev/sde 12. /dev/sdf
(Enter the items you want to select, separated by spaces.)
GRUB install devices: 7 8 9 10
Installation finished. No error reported.
Installation finished. No error reported.
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Your embedding area is unusually small. core.img
won't fit in it..
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required
when the root device is on a RAID array or LVM volume.
/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionless
disk. This is a BAD idea..

Yes, sdc is a component of a partitioned RAID1 and sdd a PV, so the
script is right and the output is good, but it might want to
actually tell me which drives are being processed, and that e.g. for
sd[ab], the "Installation finished. No error reported."
