Re: Unstable, LVM and Grub2: error: you need to load the kernel first
at the moment 'grub-pc' is broken in sid. When you have a separate /boot partition, the package generates a wrong '/boot/grub/grub.cfg'. Look at the BTS for bug #558042. There is also the workaround for the problem. I ran across the same problem, but I am running mdraid RAID 1, which complicates matters, and root (/) is on an LVM2 volume. do you get grub? and where is /boot (I'm assuming it's on RAID but not lvm)? Based on what others have written, editting the grub entries from the grub command line should do the trick. Point grub at the right device and partitions and it should just work. If you are getting to the grub cli, you need to insmod the raid/lvm modules depending on whether you use raid/lvm for /boot before running the root-linux-initrd-boot sequence. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Look at the BTS for bug #558042. There is also the workaround for the problem. grub-pc is broken when you have a separate /boot partition for any distribution see for example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/442631 Both the set root=... and the search ... lines point to / rather than to /boot. You can create a correct menuentry in 40_custom and re-run grub-mkconfig. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Unstable, LVM and Grub2: error: you need to load the kernel first
Thanks guys. After setting the boot disk to hd(0,0) (from hd(0,1)) and removing the /boot suffix by editing the grub entry from the boot menu I got finally in and aptitude update then pulled in a working version of grub-pc.
