Hello help-grub@, I am not suscribed to the list, so please include me in the response.
I have some issues with a grub install on one of my Debian servers. The symptoms make me assume there is an issue with the size of the partition on which /boot resides (single large root partition). Could this assumption be correct and is there a way to fix this without a full reinstall? I couldn't find anything about this in the documentation. The current layout is as follow: gdisk /dev/sda GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.10 Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT. Command (? for help): p Disk /dev/sda: 11718705152 sectors, 5.5 TiB Logical sector size: 512 bytes Disk identifier (GUID): A6BF6D09-C065-482A-89DC-DCDC31E0A40B Partition table holds up to 128 entries First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 11718705118 Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries Total free space is 4029 sectors (2.0 MiB) Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 2048 4095 1024.0 KiB EF02 2 4096 11523440639 5.4 TiB 8300 3 11523440640 11718703103 93.1 GiB 8200 Where sda2 is ext4. Grub is grub-efi-amd64 2.02~beta2-22, without any manual modifications to /etc/default/grub or any of the other files. When booting I get the following error: error: invalid arch-independant ELF magic. Entering rescue mode... grub rescue> ls /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/ <snip> syslinuxcfg.mod video_cirrus.mod linux.mod multiboot2.mod videotest.mod moddep.lst parmap.lst video.lst crypto.lst terminal.lst modinfo.sh core.efi When after multiple attempts of rebuilding the confs I get a normal prompt a cat of /boot/grub/grub.cnf results in a large string of '<0><0><0>' etc. The fact that a reconfigure/reinstall of grub can get it to work combined with the fact that a cat of the file results in a mangled output gives me the impression that there's an issue with the physical location on disk. If more information is needed, please let me know.
