Hi, Problems installing grub files and kernel files under /boot since i have followed the Coling instructions about moving to /usr, but i dont know if these problems are related to this or due to other changes in systemd.
Since linuxmint doesnt have an installed to install the distro in an encrypted LVM i have followed this howto http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=141&t=71159 and i have put linuxmint in an encrypted LVM and so far all went fine. Some days ago i decided to replace Linuxmint by Ubuntu and i did followed the same procedure and again all was running fine. However today i have decided to replace Ubuntu 12.04 with Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) and i have erased existent Ubuntu fs and i followed the same procedure, but after running: ubuntu]# unsquashfs -f -d /mnt/lm/ casper/filesystem.squashfs Parallel unsquashfs: Using 4 processors 147918 inodes (153245 blocks) to write [===================/ ] 27438/153245 17% cd /mnt/lm/boot [===========================================================================================================|] 153245/153245 100% created 94187 files created 14237 directories created 53613 symlinks created 82 devices created 0 fifos it did NOT install vmlinux ubuntu kernel file in /boot like it used to happen so far, and it also did not installed the grub files that used to install and isntead now i have this: boot]# ls -ls * 824 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 843468 Jul 23 21:15 abi-3.5.0-6-generic 148 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 147800 Jul 23 21:15 config-3.5.0-6-generic 176 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 176764 Nov 27 2011 memtest86+.bin 176 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178944 Nov 27 2011 memtest86+_multiboot.bin 2820 -rw------- 1 root root 2886111 Jul 23 21:15 System.map-3.5.0-6-generic grub: total 4 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 699 Jul 24 13:04 gfxblacklist.txt as we can see theres no grub files inside /boot/grub and also theres no initrd and vmlinux files to allow to boot into Ubuntu. I even tested by installing again the Ubuntu release that was successfully installed (before following Coling instructions about moving to /usr) and now it happened exactly the same thing, no vmlinux, initrc and no grub files. Could anyone please clarify, or Colin ;) why now when running "unsquashfs -f -d /mnt/lm/ casper/filesystem.squashfs" it doesnt install kernel and grub files needed to boot the distro? PS: i need to use this procedure even with Ubuntu since i want to have in an encrypted LVM with cypher aes-xts* because Ubuntu alternate CD installer uses an older cypher. for linuxmint i really have no other option that use this since it doesnt have an installer that allows to install the distro in an encrypted partition (it only allow to encrypt home folder) TIA regards, Pedro
