The way I would approach it would be to look at the source and see where it is hanging. grub-install is a shell script. A very simple first test would be to ensure `grub-install --help` works. -- Bruce -------------------------------------------- Thanks for your reply..... After a step-by-step execution of grub-install, I determined that the script grub-mkconfig_lib in /usr/lib/grub/ (line 35 of grub-install) doesn't have the appropriate filemode (changed to 755). After modification an execution of grub-mkconfig_lib caused the following stdout: /tools/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (..). Anyway, I guess that the mistake was done far earlier...
