Hello dear grub2 maintainers,
I just buy a week ago a new home PC with help to a kind supplier.
This box is equipped with an quad-core Intel i7:

So as far I understand some of my reading, debian image for this type of cpu is
the -amd64, thought?
# uname -a
Linux sidh2 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 17 01:50:34 UTC 2009 x86_64
GNU/Linux
After the reboot with this image all seems to works fine, and so I remove some old linux-image dpkg which in terms rebuild
the grub.cfg file.
Unfortuantely at next reboot, I got following error:
Error: you need to load the kernel first.
I then figure out that grub-probe failed to find out the good uuid;
I just reproduce manualy what grub-mkconfig is doing:
# grub-probe --target=device /boot
/dev/md0
# grub-probe --device /dev/md0 --target=fs_uuid
48dc8603-6702-4644-b1e5-e3c8e235ca48
I just compare with tune2fs -l:
# tune2fs -l /dev/md0
tune2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
Filesystem volume name: boot
Last mounted on: <not available>
Filesystem UUID: 6c2de8c0-40d0-470d-a040-1c2427f9ebb7
[snip]
And restoring this last value in grub.cfg (eventhought it's not supposed to be
edited manually), system boot fine again.
Otoh, there isn't any pb with 32bit kernel:
# uname -a
Linux sidh2 2.6.32-trunk-686-bigmem #1 SMP Thu Dec 17 01:08:50 UTC 2009 i686
GNU/Linux
(note that this is the same kernel revision)
# grub-probe --target=device /boot
/dev/md0
r...@sidh2:~# grub-probe --device /dev/md0 --target=fs_uuid
6c2de8c0-40d0-470d-a040-1c2427f9ebb7
Cheers,
J.
PS1: it should be related to kernel but tune2fs doen't seems to have this issue;
and personnaly I don't experiment same issue with other 64bit arch (IBM ppc64
LPAR)?
PS2: the entry I manualy change is 'menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux
2.6.32-trunk-amd64" {'
