I am encountering problems attempting to install grub on a linux mint
18.3 (sylvia) partition on a multi-boot system. When booting the live
DVD and invoking its installer the partition is not listed as a target
to install grub.
Which devices are listed ?
I opened a terminal window and attempted to manually install grub with
the following results:
sudo grub-install -v /dev/sda15
grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `aufs'.
Is this a UEFI or BIOS/legacy setup ? I'll assume BIOS.
I guess you ran grub-install in the live system instead of the chrooted
installed system. By default, it assumes that the boot directory is
/boot on the current /. In your live system, / appears to be a AUFS
(union mount), which is a virtual filesystem and cannot be mapped to a
device. You must have the filesystem containing the /boot directory of
the installed system mounted and specify the path to the directory.
grub-install --boot-directory=/<mountpoint>/boot /dev/sda15
Or chroot into the installed root, mount everything needed (/dev, /proc,
/sys...) and run grub-install from there.
