A size issue would be strange, at least given my recollection from
having checked that documentation a few months ago:
  https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/BIOS-installation.html

AFAICT that's just some extra space that could be seen as extending the
MBR area, so that all bootloader bits fit. No need to make that kind of
things RAID1?

The patch does more than just removing the hardcoded paths. Just the
first hunk of that patch would do the job IMHO.

I should clarify - I have 4 partitions on each drive:

bios
raid: /boot
raid: /
raid: lvm

... and I want to be able to recover easily if I have to replace the
boot drive, so I want the bios partition to be available and useful on both.

Thanks,
Richard

That worked great, thanks. Though it seems the '1.0MB' free before my
first partition wasn't big enough (or not aligned right?) so I had to
start from scratch.

Incidentally, could/should I have made that RAID1? I created bios
partitions on both my disks, and have grub-install-ed to both. The
partitions do seem to be identical.

Thanks,
Richard

If you use guided partitioning the installer creates a 1MB partition
with 'use as' set to 'Reserved BIOS boot area' which then shows as type
'biosgrub'.

So that would be the type to create yourself.

grub hangs at end of installing buster amd 64

2019-01-10 Thread andrew u frank 
I install buster alpha10 from a medium i have used successfully 2 or 3 
times before.


The installation is on a x86_64 system and the installation runs 
smoothly. At the end, the grub hangs with


    grub install on /dev/sdb  (sdb is my harddrive)

I find on one of the terminals (alt-F4?) information which is repeated 
over and over:


    xx not initialized in udev database

and xx cycles through all partitions (especially the LVM partitions). I 
had setup the LVM before starting the installer and just selected three 
LVM partitions for / /home and swap. There was nothing irregular 
observed about the LVM system.


Starting the system with another OS (stretch) and running update-grub 
and grub-install shows the new deb10 buster installation. However, 
trying to start the new installed system hangs then with


    running /scripts/local-block

and fails.

Is there a method to avoid this problem? A step to correct the error 
without restarting the full installation procedure?

Installer - add BIOS boot partition?

2019-01-10 Thread Richard Hector 
Hi all,

I've just done most of an installation on a BIOS machine, with a pair of
new 4TB disks, which require GPT.

Grub fails to install, which I possibly should have predicted - though I
thought di might have either coped or warned me.

It seems I need a BIOS boot partition, and that it should fit in the
space before my first existing partition, is that right? Any tips on
creating such a thing, preferably from within the di environment?

Or do I need to do some partitioning before starting the installer?
Links to relevant references or howtos welcome.

Thanks,
Richard
