I actually applied the fix manually but did not set the fixed package on hold as I had the hope that any update to the grub package in lucid would fix this. Yesterday my system crashed while working with schroot and snapshots and is now unbootable again :-) So I am interested in a fix once again and hope it goes into Lucid.

Okay, I just installed the version from lucid-proposed: torsten@sharokan:~$ dpkg -l|grep grub ii grub-common 1.98-1ubuntu13 GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (common files) ii grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu13 GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS version) I had to run # grub-install /dev/sda to actually update the grub installation (it would be nice if installing the new package would do that automatically, but this is of course a risk wrt. possible regressions).

Most people applied the fixed package manually and moved on over a year ago. Are you really surprised? I'm not here to debate whether or not is right or wrong to report a bug, or provide info regarding a bug, and then not be involved every step of the way. People have the right to contribute or not contribute as they see fit. Your attitude is not going to affect this fact in a positive way. All you have really achieved here is made pull my name off the CC list for this bug. I did it because the latest updates you've made are the equivalent of spam.

[Bug 563895] Re: grub2 fails to boot or install when an LVM snapshot exists
While installation security updates to my lucid system, this made my system unbootable last week. I spent half an hour today to make it bootable again. I booted from supergrubdisk which also failed to detect LVM (it usually did). I ended up using Knoppix and noticed the leftover snapshot (created via schroot) on boot, deleting it. I then tried to chroot into my Lucid system which failed because Knoppix is i386 and my Lucid install is amd64. Rebooting with the Lucid installation medium, I was surprised that the grub installation on my hard drive magically started to work again and booted fine into my Lucid install. I would deem this a really important problem and I am all for fixing it in Lucid given that a patch exists. BTW: The snapshot name created by schroot is quite long, as it contains a UUID. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563895 Title: grub2 fails to boot or install when an LVM snapshot exists To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/563895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 563895] Re: grub2 fails to boot or install when an LVM snapshot exists
Upgraded from maverick to natty and had a similar issue: - bootfs is ext3, rootfs ext4 - both are logical volumes on top of raid1 - did snapshots of root boot before upgrade and it worked for the first reboot After that, grub2 just booted the menu entry, did a lot of hdd access and stoped w/o any errors or messages. I could get the kernel initramfs loaded by striping the menu entry down to: insmod part_msdos, raid, lvm, ext2 root (vg-device) kernel... initramfs... but mounting the rootfs failed within initramfs and it dropped to a shell. mounting the logical volume (roots) within that shell worked. changing the filesystem UUIDs within my snapshots of rootfs boot didnt change anything. after deleting both snapshots, grub2 initramfs booted w/o any error. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563895 Title: grub2 fails to boot or install when an LVM snapshot exists -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
