Package: grub Version: 0.97-20 Followup-For: Bug #239111 Okay, some background, since I got this error using FAI and was bitten pretty hard.
grub-install freeze xfs, then executes grub command: > setup --stage2=/tmp/target/boot/grub/stage2 --prefix=/boot/grub (hd0) which in fact does: Running "install --stage2=/tmp/target/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+18 p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... Tough, because 'p' means to patch stage2, which sits on the partition we just freezed... so it waits till spring (thawing, ehm :)). And by the way you try to write a logfile there, too. If /tmp is on the same partition as /boot, you frozen it just as well. Bad luck. So we can't keep stage2 frozen, and should not write logfile when frozen. Patches may have already addressed it, I didn't have the time to read through all the bugreports so far, but this is the reason for the trouble. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
