Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta4-1
Severity: normal
Grub2 fails to boot directly into my root on LVM on md raid1 setup.
At boot time, I get
Grub loading, followed by a pause, then a "biosdisk read error" is
printed, followed by another pause (10s) or so, then "entering rescue
mode", another pause then finally the grub menu appears on screen.
So, grub is successfully booting, but more by luck than judgement it
seems!
This appears to be launchpad bug 396564, but there's not much of use
there, except for confirmation of the bug from other sources.
Happy to try any debugging suggestions.
Phil
