Bug#701223: post-install boot failure with ext2 + TTY-only (desktop tasksel skipped) installation
Package: debian-installer Version: 6.0.6 I'm trying to build a text-only (no graphical desktop) Debian system with ext2 instead of the default ext3, but the resulting install is unbootable due to a bad grub configuration. To reproduce: 1) I used the 6.0.6 netboot installer (tried both 32-bit and 64-bit) 2) Went with default responses, with two deviations: 2A) Instead of guided partitioning, manually set a / partition and a swap partition, with / formatted as ext2 2B) When tasksel came up with the defaults of graphical desktop and standard system utilities, I unchecked graphical desktop 3) Upon reboot, the grub menu comes up, then grub loads the kernel and initrd, then the usual Loading, please wait..., but a little while later we get Gave up waiting for root device and it drops into the rescue shell. The culprit is line 6 of the GRUB configuration: 1: insmod part_msdos 2: insmod ext2 3: set root='(hd0,msdos1)' 4: search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 5: echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 ...' 6: linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 root=/dev/sde1 ro 7: echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' 8: initrd /boot/initrd.img-02.6.32-5-amd64 The target hard drive was indeed /dev/sde when the installer was running (due to USB card reader devices taking up earlier slots), yet it seems that at boot time the hard drive is now /dev/sda. If I use the built-in GRUB editor to on-the-fly change that line to have root=/dev/sda1, then the system boots fine. Once booted, if I then run update-grub, the new GRUB configuration has root=UUID= instead of root=/dev/sde1, and everything works fine. If I start over and reinstall with ext3 instead of ext2, then the GRUB configuration already has root=UUID=, whence everything works fine. It also works fine with ext4. Thus there seems to be a bug in the Debian Installer when it comes to writing the GRUB configuration, specifically in the case of using ext2. In fact, if I drop into a shell at the end of installation but before the reboot, I observe that grub-probe returns the correct UUID of the partition, but the /target/dev/disk/by-uuid/ directory contains a BOGUS value! Hence the grub-mkconfig script doesn't trust the UUID and doesn't write it into the GRUB config. However, after reboot (via on-the-fly GRUB editing), the /dev/disk/by/uuid/ directory contains the correct value, explaining why update-grub at this point does the right thing. I also stumbled on a mysterious different way to avoid triggering the bug: if I start over and reinstall, again with ext2, but this time allowing the graphical desktop in tasksel, then the GRUB configuration ends up with the desired root=UUID=! I'm at a complete loss to explain this. Can the installation of the graphical desktop task somehow cause /target/dev/disk/by/uuid/ to get corrected? I'm guessing that task subsequently invokes update-grub after installing the background graphics for the GRUB menu, but how are the udev links getting corrected by the graphical desktop task? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org Archive: http://lists.debian.org/5128355e.8070...@math.lsu.edu
Bug#701223: follow-up thoughts
It occurs to me that the BOGUS value in /target/dev/disk/by-uuid might be a spurious filesystem signature left over from a previous install? I've noticed that the partman ext2 formatting goes really fast compared to the ext3 and ext4 formatting, so presumably less data is being written, perhaps allowing old superblocks to survive. One might furthermore presume that the installer code doing population of /target/dev/disk/by-uuid/ is different from the code doing the population upon reboot, and one could then theorize that the installer version incorrectly pays attention to leftover superblocks that aren't really part of the ext2 partition. However, this theory doesn't explain how the graphical desktop task ends up fixing everything prior to reboot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
