Bug#484228: grub-pc: root partition fail to mount by uuid
I got an unbootable system with this version too. Grub failed to locate the kernel. I use dm-crypt encrypted root over LVM. Had to boot from a rescue CD and enable GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID. GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID does nothing to fix Grub failed to locate the kernel. Well, the exact error message was gone by the time I got to send the e-mail, but in fact none of the configured operating systems worked at all. Linux failed with something like Kernel must be loaded first IIRC. But even Memtest86+ and Windowses failed to boot, with a different error message. I actually managed to locate and boot the kernel and the initrd from the grub command line despite this, but then the initrd never managed to find the root partition (it just waited indefinitely for the it to come up). I don't know if it's the same bug but it went away after I set GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID _and_ upgraded to 1.96+20080621-1. Unfortunately I cannot investigate much further since I cannot risk messing up this system just now. Cheers, Marcus signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

retitle 484228 grub should avoid passing UUID to Linux when not using initrd severity 484228 important thanks On Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 08:54:59AM +0200, Marcus Better wrote: I don't know if it's the same bug but it went away after I set GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID _and_ upgraded to 1.96+20080621-1. Unfortunately I cannot investigate much further since I cannot risk messing up this system just now. That means you found two bugs. One of them was in GRUB and got fixed in 1.96+20080621-1. The other one is not in GRUB. Which if we add to the TWO DIFFERENT BUGS we additionally have in #484228, makes for real fun to deal with. To summarize for the casual reader: A- The one reported by Remi Vanicat was about working around #484297 in udev, and was fixed. B- The one _you_ reported are actually two different new bugs. C- The one reported by Nathan A. Stine is a problem specific to people building custom Linux images, which has different severity and is fixed upstream. Since A is fixed, B1 is fixed, and B2 is not in GRUB (please report, probably belongs to initramfs-tools), let us say that #484228 is about C now. Do not add _anything_ new to this bug unless it's really about C. File a separate bug if you must. And btw, I would really appreciate if you people would stop recycling random bugs. Every minute I spend sorting out this kind of mess is time I don't spend fixing the actual problems. Thanks -- Robert Millan GPLv2 I know my rights; I want my phone call!

I filed against this bug because this, from my point of view, seemed to be the same issue. It is often trivial to identify duplicates and merge them. OTOH, once reused bugs are identified there's no trivial solution that splits them appart without carriing the confusion with them. When managing a large amount of bug reports, the last thing I want is that revisiting a bug takes me half an hour just to figure out what was this about. Of course, I apologize for any extra work I create for Debian's package maintainers. This is never my intention. No problem.

Bug#484228: grub-pc: root partition fail to mount by uuid
Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080601-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
After recent upgrade, grub-pc use UUID to find the root partition, but
on my lvm instalation, /dev/disk/by-uuid/${UUID} doesn't exists, and
the boot failed. Enabling GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID solve the problem,
but it stay unseen before the first reboot. grub-pc should at least
warn on upgrade that this should be looked at, or default to
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true or update-grub should check that
/dev/disk/by-uuid/${UUID} does exists.
