Accepted grub-installer into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here.

[Bug 603854] Re: When installing onto fake raid grub still tried to install to /dev/sda
** Description changed: + Impact: d-i installations onto fake RAID (a.k.a. DM-RAID or SATA RAID) install to /dev/sda rather than to the RAID device. This may work for a while but leaves the boot arrangements vulnerable to RAID elements going away, different device ordering, etc. + Development branch (and maverick): http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/grub-installer/ubuntu/revision/869 + Patch: See above; the same patch applies with only an offset. + TEST CASE: Install on a system with DM-RAID using d-i (alternate CD, server CD, or netboot). (Until new CDs are respun, testing the fixed version will only be possible using netboot, and will require 'apt-setup/proposed=true' on the installer kernel command line.) Either watch the GRUB installation step closely, or check the output of 'sudo debconf-show grub-pc | grep install_devices:' after installation (you may need to run the value through 'readlink -f' to resolve symlinks); GRUB should be installed to /dev/mapper/something rather than to /dev/sda or similar. + Regression potential: The variable controlling this code is only set for the DM-RAID and multipath cases, both of which need the same treatment, so assuming it works at all I don't expect anything else to get worse. + + Original report follows: + Binary package hint: grub-installer It was suggested in bug 568050 that I file a new bug for the grub- installer portion of installing onto fake raid. That bug has resolved the partman issues around installing onto fakeraid, so now getting grub- installer to install onto the raid device is the only remaining part to getting it working I think. Attached is a syslog from an install onto fakeraid. The system is installed and could boot off of /dev/mapper/isw_bjffiahcab_Volume0 but grub-installer still chose to install to /dev/sda and strangely reported memory leaks. This seems to be a long standing issue, and is likely a duplicate bug, but I was unable to find exactly the right bug. grub-installer doesn't have any other bugs currently open. -- When installing onto fake raid grub still tried to install to /dev/sda https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/603854 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Uploaded a fix to maverick, awaiting release team approval. (I'll deal with lucid later, but I hope in time for 10.04.2.) I've done a straight-through server install in KVM with this fix, and tested that the resulting system boots with the two virtual disks both ways round. -- When installing onto fake raid grub still tried to install to /dev/sda https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/603854 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 603854] Re: When installing onto fake raid grub still tried to install to /dev/sda
I had this bug today when trying to install 10.10 Maverick Beta from a alternative daily CD (iso-image from 05 sept 2010). At the end of the install procedure grub was installed on /dev/sda which i *did not* ask for. See also LP 420992. Luckily, earlier I had found and used the workaround as described in 420992 #11 so grub was already on the array's mbr. Rebooted into recovery mode and got myself a root session on the right partition (pdc_jcchiiaab5), mounted /home partition and then ran update-grub. Saw a lot of error messages about memory leaks, but it found my OS'es. Ubuntu will not boot though because of issues with device names not handled right between kernel, grub and dmraid. Bummer. This means I can now boot into XP (alas... but that does work with dmraid) but not into Maverick. cheers Tom ** Changed in: grub-installer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- When installing onto fake raid grub still tried to install to /dev/sda https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/603854 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
