Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98+20100804-4 Severity: normal I've retested and this bug still exists so I'll reopen. Here's the new behavior. On boot it says:
error: no such disk Entering rescue mode grub rescue> (i.e., only one error line rather than two). lsmod shows: Name Ref Count Dependencies lvm 1 part_msdos 1 ext2 1 fshelp fshelp 2 biosdisk 1 minicmd 1 and ls: (hd0) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) (fd0) So I think I have a correct config and the right modules, but something doesn't work. >From the grub prompt is there anything else I can do to troubleshoot? root seems not to be usable, even if I set it to vg0-root. I don't think there is anything unusual about this disk. The first partition is NTFS, the second is LVM. I have a 32 bit box with a single LVM partition and grub2 works fine. I have a 64 bit box with more complicated partitions and grub2 works fine. I suppose the LVM partition might be pretty old--could it be not quite right for grub2? I don't get any errors when looking at the pvs/vgs/lvs. How else can I help? Thanks!
