Reproduced both on physical hardware and in virtualbox on 12.04.2 LTS. The physical hardware reboots/resets after the grub menu. The virtual machine triggers a guru meditation in virtualbox instead of the reboot/reset.
The workaround in the bug description works as advertised. My (limited) testing of the issue indicates that drive 0 has to be yanked to reproduce the bug. Yanking drive 1 has no effect on bootability. [_U] : Doesn't boot. [U_] : Boots. The system boots just fine if the degraded drive is connected to the system at boot time. It has to be yanked (or broken for real) to trigger the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073108 Title: grub-pc fails to boot (system resets after GRUB prompt) on degraded RAID To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1073108/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
