Bug#624232: grub-pc 1.99~rc1-13 fails to install, problem with /boot on raid1 suspected.

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99~rc1-13
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hi, upon upgrade on a Wheezy/sid system grup-pc fails to install, postinst
script fails to run due to an unknown file-system error. The system is
left in an unbootable state. Only chroot from another system and then
Downgrading to 1.98+20100804-14 solve the problem.

Manually running install-grub gives error about device not existing
and unknown file-system.
grub-mkdevicemap completes without error.
grub-probe invariably fails with messages about /dev not being mounted
and device not existing, no matter what path is used for the target(s)
disk(s).
Checks show /dev mounted just fine.

System is raid1, /boot on separate raid1 with ext4, rest of the system
is luks on raid1.

Tried latest two grub-pc and grub-common packages from 1.99 serie (from
snapshot.debian.org) and they all failed to install properly, only
latest 1.98  works.

Thank you for your attention.

Could you try latest upstream bzr or (unless you use 0.90 raid)
1.99~rc2. I think your problem is solved by mduuid patch.
 Manually running install-grub gives error about device not existing
 and unknown file-system.
 grub-mkdevicemap completes without error.
 grub-probe invariably fails with messages about /dev not being mounted
 and device not existing, no matter what path is used for the target(s)
 disk(s).

 System is raid1, /boot on separate raid1 with ext4, rest of the system
 is luks on raid1.

 Tried latest two grub-pc and grub-common packages from 1.99 serie (from
 snapshot.debian.org) and they all failed to install properly, only
 latest 1.98  works.

 Thank you for your attention.

Using upstream bzr code solves the problem indeed. I use 1.2 meta-data
on the raid, now grub-mkdevicemap works fine, so does grub-probe,
installation on both devices of the raid gives me no error and the
reboot was alright.
Hope this version will be pulled in Debian soon.

Thank you for your assistance.
