Public bug reported:
I've been running Quantal on a machine for a while now, and everything
has been smooth.
However, I just took the recent grub2 & kernel updates which seemed to break
grub2:
* grub-pc-bin:amd64 (1.99-22ubuntu2, 2.00-4ubuntu1)
* linux-image-3.5.0-14-generic:amd64 (3.5.0-14.16, 3.5.0-14.19)
Grub2 now complains:
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: your embedding area is unusually small.
core.img won't fit in it..
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is
required for RAID and LVM install.
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: warning: your embedding area is unusually small.
core.img won't fit in it..
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is
required for RAID and LVM install.
Are there any workarounds for this?
This is a very simple install, just md RAID1, with one dumb partition, no LVM.
