 I couldn't find anything immediately helpful on the web so I downloaded
 the source code for grub. Fortunately, there's only one instance of the
 phrase incompatible license in there and it's in a small function
 called grub_dl_check_license. The purpose of this function is to
 confirm that a module being loaded has a license of GPLv3, GPLv3+ or
 GPLv2+. If not, then it returns the above error. I'm not intimately
 familiar with the GPL, but as GRUB is one of GNU's higher-visibility
 projects, I imagine this is seen as a perfectly cromulent thing to do.
 
 I would suggest raising a bug against grub with the output from
 bootinfoscript[1] attached. This is the sort of thing that testing
 should have picked up, but it's possible you're pulling in a module that
 most people don't use and which has no license or something.

Bug #650435.

 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=650435

  GRUB doesn't have a stable binary ABI. So modules from one version
  can't be used with another one and not having consistent setup is a
  bug (usually wrong grub-install invocation) or user misintervention.
  If it wasn't for this message the loading would have failed for
  another reason (probably symbol problem). You need to use consistent
  setup. You can't take a new head and put it on old body, they are
  not compatible.

Which was the reason for the comment I made earlier.

Another avenue of investigation might be to run something like:

echo -n $module: 
strings $module | grep LICENS
  done

and look for anything unusual.

My concept of installing Debian includes putting GRUB in the MBR. You
appear to have an inconsistency between the modules in /boot/grub and
the version of GRUB in the MBR.

The rescue mode of the netinst ISO can be used to reinstall GRUB.

Re: GRUB loading.. Welcome to GRUB! error: incompatible license Entering rescue mode..

2015-03-28 Thread David Christensen

debian-user:

I think the problem is that the motherboard/ BIOS (Intel D865GBF, circa 
2005) is just too old to use a USB flash drive (SanDisk Ultra Fit 16 GB 
USB 3.0) as the system drive.  When I connect the same drive to a newer 
motherboard (Intel D945GNT, circa 2009), GRUB is happy.

any (fresh) idea ?


When rebooting this newly cloned guest system I got the following error:

GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!

error: incompatible license.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue

I felt a bit baffled and had no clue so I rebooted GRML again, and this time
ran the grub-install after doing a chroot into the cloned system. That worked.

Still, I'm wondering where this incompatible license error comes from.
I cannot find it in the current GRUB2 source code. Has it anything to do
with VMware? Google shows a couple of hits for this message but no real
answer to where there should be a license issue.

Any ideas?

It's not unusual that there are issues regarding to licenses.

The Linux kernel-rt and the proprietary Nvidia driver do have licenses

a GRML CD, copied over a running system and installed a boot loader using
grub-install.

When rebooting this newly cloned guest system I got the following error:

GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!

error: incompatible license.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue

I felt a bit baffled and had no clue so I rebooted GRML again, and this time
ran the grub-install after doing a chroot into the cloned system. That worked.

Still, I'm wondering where this incompatible license error comes from.
I cannot find it in the current GRUB2 source code. Has it anything to do
with VMware? Google shows a couple of hits for this message but no real
answer to where there should be a license issue.

Any ideas?

bye,
