Thanks for your response - I hadn't quite noticed that this was legacy grub (and
had kinda made the assumption the Debian upgrades had forced the upgrade).

I have migrated to GRUB 2 and can confirm this resolves the issue.

Bug#1070733: linux-image-5.10.0-29-amd64 fails to boot with Error 16: Inconsistent filesystem structure

2024-05-07 Thread Dan Poltawski
Package: src:linux
Version: 5.10.216-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading to linux-image-5.10.0-29 the system fails to boot with
grub 'Error 16: Inconsistent filesystem structure'. Booting into 
linux-image-5.10.0-28-amd64
and the system is once again bootable

The console displays:
Booting 'Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 5.10.0-29-amd64'

'Upstream' here. Apologies that you got hit by a spam filter (I'm
afraid we were getting hit quite aggressively by first time link
spammers which is probably the cause of your filtering). Thank you
very much for trying to get in touch with us.

I've been cc'd on the Moodle debian bugs for quite some time and i'm
afraid that this is a bit of a cycle with the package. Quite some time
ago I was part of a team to keep up with keeping the package in order,
but eventually could not keep on top of it - then others like Tomasz
Muras and Thijs Kinkhorst have valiantly tried to get it in order. See
#494642 #647489 #747084 etc.

So much as it saddens me - I think this is the right course of action.
There is little evidence to suggest that the package is widely used
which makes it even less motivating for contributors for the
significant amount of work it takes to keep up with our wide ranging
upstream security fixes.

cheers,

Dan Poltawski

 Well, something regenerated device.map since installation. I don't think your 
 system would boot with the device.map you've provided---grub would have ever 
 installed properly. I believe, from what you've provided, your device.map 
 should contain:
 
 (hd0) /dev/sda
 (hd1) /dev/sdb
 
 Did you try the workaround? Namely running `grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy` 
 again?

Yes I did, this does resolve the problem and also contains the same map as
you guessed at.

I'm looking through the apt log to see if I can find anything which would
regenerate the device.map since install.

 Urm I forgot somehow that you're talking about update-grub not
 grub-install.
 But somewhere /dev/sda has to come from which isn't visible on the
 report.
 Is your /dev/md0 over sda or something like that?

Yes, md0 is over sda1 and sdb1:

 During some previous upgrade, /boot/grub/device.map was regenerated, and it 
 was missing some 
 of the devices that made up the boot RAID array. 

Just in response to this - my problem has not been caused by an upgrade - it 
was a clean lenny install

Justification: breaks unrelated software


When installing new kernels onto the system, the kernel package post
instalation fails on update-grub (output attached below), this 
problem has also affected a number of my collegues, all of us have
a raid1 configuration on our boot partition.

I tried to get to the bottom of the problem by running the following 
steps:

Running update-grub manually produces the errored status:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# update-grub 
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# echo $?
1

Upon investigation of the update-grub script, I tracked the problem down to
line 155 of update grub:
GRUB_LEGACY_0_BASED_PARTITIONS=1 grub-probe --device-map=${device_map} -t 
drive -d $1 2 /dev/null


I discovered the options that were being used and this is the command which is 
being run:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /usr/sbin/grub-probe --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map -t 
drive -d /dev/sda1
error: cannot open `/dev/sdf'
error: cannot open `/dev/sdf'
grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1.  Check your 
device.map.


This results in convert() returning error status.

Please let me know if I can be of any more assistance
