[Bug 554307] Re: linux-boot-prober yields wrong uuid for kernel root parameter

Hi Philip, glad to hear that I'm not fully mistaken ;-). It may not be a very frequent use case having different Linux installs in parallel, but solving this will really improve things for those users. Thank you! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

[Bug 554307] Re: linux-boot-prober yields wrong uuid for kernel root parameter

I see now. So os-prober detects an install on another partition, decides to try and boot it with some kernel, but passes the wrong root argument. That does seem wrong. ** Changed in: os-prober (Ubuntu) Status: Won't Fix => Triaged ** Description changed: - Binary package hint:

[Bug 554307] Re: linux-boot-prober yields wrong uuid for kernel root parameter

I agree with you that os-prober cannot automatically tell, which kernel files belong to which installation, if several linux installs share the same /boot. (1) Still, its behaviour could be easily improved: If os-prober detects two linux installs with a shared /boot, it could simply ask the user,

[Bug 554307] Re: linux-boot-prober yields wrong uuid for kernel root parameter

os-prober can not support multiple installs with a shared /boot. How is it supposed to know which files belong to which install? To make this work you just have to manually configure grub.cfg. ** Changed in: os-prober (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug

[Bug 554307] Re: linux-boot-prober yields wrong uuid for kernel root parameter

I installed 17.10 on my SSD and have in total 4 Ubuntu partitions (2 on hard drive and 2 on SSD). With the install, as best I can recall, everything was fine and I could boot both partitions on the SSD. I then updated Grub using Grub Customizer. The menu still shows 4 options for boot, but the

[Bug 554307] Re: linux-boot-prober yields wrong uuid for kernel root parameter

Marking grub.cfg read only doesn't work - I tried that at first. I make a backup copy of my grub.cfg before doing kernel updates, run the updates and update-grub as normal, then compare the changes to the backup, and manually re-edit where needed to ensure smooth booting - before I ever boot a

[Bug 554307] Re: linux-boot-prober yields wrong uuid for kernel root parameter

Thanks, EvilSupahFly. I can now add this: Rm'ing every grub related file on the other systems, reinstalling grub, and running update-grub was REALLY BAD IDEA. Now when I try to boot /dev/sda6 (the system that is an fsarchiver-made clone of my main, /dev/sda5-based 14.04 system, where grub is

Re: [Bug 554307] Re: linux-boot-prober yields wrong uuid for kernel root parameter

I had to edit by hand, remembering to re-edit after a kernel update as my changes get wiped out by update-grub. On Aug 1, 2016 17:16, "My name" wrote: > Same thing with me in 14.04. This is a pretty basic thing to be broken > for so long. Suggestions for work-arounds

[Bug 554307] Re: linux-boot-prober yields wrong uuid for kernel root parameter

BTW, all my linux systems are 1-partition-each, no seperate ~s, or swaps or boot. Keeping it simple. They are on 2 drives, one external, one internal. Grub is on /dev/sda with config files on sda5, which is the one that boots. Some are on primary and some on logical partitions. Sda1 and sda2 are

[Bug 554307] Re: linux-boot-prober yields wrong uuid for kernel root parameter

Same thing with me in 14.04. This is a pretty basic thing to be broken for so long. Suggestions for work-arounds would be nice, since it doesn't look fixing it is imminent. Personally, I've tried a 2 grub rescue utilities, one from within one of the partitions that will boot, and another from CD.

Yes, the bug appears on 14.04 LTS release. The partition in question is not mounted via /etc/fstab. To understand what's going on I'd better give you blkid output with some my comments: $ blkid /dev/sda* /dev/sda1: UUID=66ECBF91ECBF5A4F TYPE=ntfs /dev/sda10:
