Package: grub-pc Version: 1.99-22.1 Severity: important Tags: d-i My setup:
Wheezy businesscard install daily build (2012-06-25) MBR on disks One partition per disk 6 disk mdraid RAID6 / and /boot on LVM / and /boot as ext4 (in fact on the same partition) The installer installs everything fine, but grub fails to boot. Grub can see the ext4 partitions on the lvm just fine, but with various levels of failure cannot read the contents of them (they are either not read at all or then they are corrupted in various ways). After booting into recovery mode and letting the raid array build itself the system boots up just fine after the array has finished syncing. This is an acceptable workaround for a home system, but not really acceptable for production environments (rebooting with a degraded array can cause major downtime while the array syncs in a single user mode recovery environment; alternatively someone has to rush on-site with a newer grub boot medium to boot the system normally). I believe this upstream bug to be the bug in question: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?35843 Upstream claims it fixed in a newer version. I have cross-verified this myself by having had success with Fedora 17, Arch and Gentoo and failing with both Debian (6, 7) and Ubuntu (10.04, 12.04). The difference being that Debian and Ubuntu are on grub-pc 1.9x while both Arch and Fedora 17 are on grub-pc 2.0+ and the Gentoo in question is on latest (circa 2012-06-25) bzr from the GNU savannah. A proposed solution would be to either move forward to match upstream or to go and cherry-pick and backport the relevant change in question. I unfortunately do not have the expertise to help you with this process. This bug report is being sent from an unbootable test setup in Virtualbox. I have tagged this report relevant to the Debian installer due to the install process leaving an unbootable system without extra steps. -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/sr0 /cdrom iso9660 ro,relatime 0 0 /dev/raid6/root / ext4 rw,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,stripe=512,data=ordered 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VBa2b88522-1437d827 (hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VBc9570229-0652b7c9 (hd2) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VB3cbd04d6-03d73061 (hd3) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VB773558b3-c023f499 (hd4) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VBc69b081d-32b67df7 (hd5) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_VB61f4bc52-a54ccf46 *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then load_env fi set default="0" if [ "${prev_saved_entry}" ]; then set saved_entry="${prev_saved_entry}" save_env saved_entry set prev_saved_entry= save_env prev_saved_entry set boot_once=true fi function savedefault { if [ -z "${boot_once}" ]; then saved_entry="${chosen}" save_env saved_entry fi } function load_video { insmod vbe insmod vga insmod video_bochs insmod video_cirrus } insmod raid insmod raid6rec insmod mdraid1x insmod lvm insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(raid6-root)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root aac00a9a-fce6-4260-a61e-5ded48e5dcb9 if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=640x480 load_video insmod gfxterm insmod raid insmod raid6rec insmod mdraid1x insmod lvm insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(raid6-root)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root aac00a9a-fce6-4260-a61e-5ded48e5dcb9 set locale_dir=($root)/boot/grub/locale set lang=C insmod gettext fi terminal_output gfxterm set timeout=5 ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### insmod raid insmod raid6rec insmod mdraid1x insmod lvm insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(raid6-root)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root aac00a9a-fce6-4260-a61e-5ded48e5dcb9 insmod png if background_image /usr/share/images/desktop-base/spacefun-grub.png; then set color_normal=light-gray/black set color_highlight=white/black else set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue fi ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { insmod gzio insmod raid insmod raid6rec insmod mdraid1x insmod lvm insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(raid6-root)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root aac00a9a-fce6-4260-a61e-5ded48e5dcb9 echo 'Loading Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-2-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/raid6-root ro echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-2-amd64 } menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (recovery mode)' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { insmod gzio insmod raid insmod raid6rec insmod mdraid1x insmod lvm insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(raid6-root)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root aac00a9a-fce6-4260-a61e-5ded48e5dcb9 echo 'Loading Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-2-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/raid6-root ro single echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-2-amd64 } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### END /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.
