I am a senior developer for the Frugalware Linux distribution, and I am trying to find an upgrade path so we can leave grub legacy behind. Normal disk installations work perfectly under testing, however I have found a snag with RAID installations we have to support that were setup under grub legacy, which we installed under metadata 0.90 because of the limitations of grub legacy.
The problem appears to be this bug: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34250 It effects RAID setups that only use a single partition per disk, and in my tests I got errors from grub-install of this kind: http://frugalware.org/paste/13418 The problem seems to be that grub2 is unable to deduce *where* the RAID really is. I tried installing to the MBR of both disks and RAID device, using a simple grub-install command. (grub-install /dev/md0, etc.) I did my testing with a mostly vanilla 1.99 grub2. If any of our users happen to run into this issue, what are we to tell them to do? I'd like another option than forcing them to have to redo their RAID setup. Any insights would be appreciated. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
