Package: grub-pc Version: 1.99-11 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
If setting up a machine (virtual for instance) with a RAID1 array initially created degraded with a missing part, then grub won't boot (reboots after "loading grub"): Example: (I don't think the LVM part is relevant) truncate -s10G file losetup /dev/loop0 file mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/loop0 missing --metadata=0.9 sfdisk /dev/md0 << E # partition table of /dev/md0 unit: sectors /dev/md0p1 : start= 2048, size= 2097152, Id=83 /dev/md0p2 : start= 2099200, size= 18872192, Id=8e /dev/md0p3 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0 /dev/md0p4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0 E mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0p1 pvcreate /dev/md0p2 vgcreate test /dev/md0p2 lvcreate -L4G -n root test mkfs.ext4 /dev/root/test mount /dev/root/test /mnt mkdir /mnt/boot mount /dev/md0p1 /mnt/boot debootstrap --arch amd64 sid /mnt http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ setup /dev, /sys, /dev/pts, /proc edit fstab, passwd root... Then install linux-image, mdadm, lvm2, grub-pc... grub-install /dev/md0 vgchange -an test mdadm --stop /dev/md0 and boot /dev/loop0 with kvm, the machine automatically reboots with (from memory) Loading grub_1.5... Loading grub If I add a second disk to the array, then it boots OK. Initially reproduced with a real machine. -- Stephane -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
