Same problem: Booting from sdb gives me error: on such partition.

I think you are having a different issue than TJ, so you should file a new bug report. Since TJ's issue is a misconfiguration, I'm closing this bug report. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987354 Title: error: no such partition. grub-pc fails to detect mdraid partitions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/987354/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This also happens without md-raid. I have a normal Ubuntu installation on sdb. I just upgraded and got the same error.

[Bug 987354] Re: error: no such partition. grub-pc fails to detect mdraid partitions
This is caused when the existing GRUB configuration is incorrect and GRUB only 'knows' about one disk in the MD RAID set. In this instance there is a RAID-1 mirror array of two disks on the first two IDE PATA controller ports (both as masters). When the system boots BIOS does not know anything about software RAID devices so it reads the grub bootloader files from one drive. If that drive hasn't been updated by 'update-grub' then it will have older binary files on it. When the GRUB package changes enough that the Application Binary Interface (ABI) changes it means that the older binaries cannot load grub's support libraries since the entry points and function signatures have changed. A work-around to get the system booted is to enter the BIOS set-up and change the order of the disks in the DM RAID array so the disk with the updated master boot record is read first. This is easy to figure out if it is a 2-disk mirror. Once the system is started do: dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc and ensure all disks the system might boot from are selected. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Assignee: TJ (intuitivenipple) = (unassigned) ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987354 Title: error: no such partition. grub-pc fails to detect mdraid partitions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/987354/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
