Anyway it does not seems to try to use block lists: /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: info: Partition 0 starts from 63. /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: info: /dev/dm-1 is an LVM. /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: info: guessed root_dev `lvm/MainGroup-slash' from dir `/boot/grub/i386-pc'. /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: info: setting the root device to `lvm/MainGroup-slash'. /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: your core.img is unusually large. It won't fit in the embedding area. /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for RAID and LVM install. + exit 1 zsh: exit 1 sudo grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --debug --force /dev/sda $ grub-install -v grub-install (GRUB) 2.00 _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
