Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-2
Severity: important
Hi,
my machine is a standard PC with two SATA disks, bundled as md0 and md1,
with /boot on md0, and everything else in a LUKS encrypted container on
md1 with LVM inside. So, booting normally works by fetching the kernel
and initrd from /boot, then asking for a passphrase to unlock the
container, then proceed with the boot process.
Yesterday, I upgraded to all the latest and greatest in Testing, which
included both new versions of grub-pc and
linux-image--2.6.32-5-686-bigmem (I have 8GB RAM in my machine) and
grub-pc presented me with a statement like "your UUIDs are garbled. I
need to regenerate them, or you'll be unable to boot.", with my two
disks selected as the default devices to regenerate UUIDs for. I
accepted, understanding that grub-pc wanted to write new MBRs to the
disks, then shut down the machine after the upgrade finished. Today, the
machine booted to the point where it would normally ask for the
passphrase, but instead, it said:
Volume group "ev0" not found
Skipping volume group ev0
Unable to find LVM volume ev0/root
Volume group "ev0" not found
Skipping volume group ev0
Unable to find LVM volume ev0/swap
After several (5?) minutes where the machine didn't do anything I was
able to see, the screen was suddenly flushed with a large number of
messages like:
/sys/devices/virtual/block/md0 (10715)
/sys/devices/virtual/block/md1 (10716)
/sys/devices/virtual/block/md0 (10717)
/sys/devices/virtual/block/md1 (10718)
/sys/devices/virtual/block/md0 (10719)
/sys/devices/virtual/block/md1 (10720)
/sys/devices/virtual/block/md0 (10721)
Unlocking the disk /dev/md1 (md1_crypt)
Enter the passphrase:
After entering the passphrase, the machine used several more minutes
while the cpu cooler went into high pitch, then it emitted the following
message:
10 logical volume(s) in volume group "ev0" now active
cryptsetup: md1_crypt set up successfully
Then it took some more time, after which it emitted a flurry of
messages, ending with this:
/sys/devices/virtual/block/md0 (25598)
/sys/devices/virtual/block/md1 (25599)
/sys/devices/virtual/block/md0 (25600)
/sys/devices/virtual/block/md1 (25601)
/sys/devices/virtual/block/md0 (25602)
done.
After that, booting continued normally.
This was a scary event, all in all, and I'd also like to have the
machine boot in 3 minutes, instead of some 15, again.
If you think that this problem should be assigned to a different package
(eg. linux-image-...), please feel free to re-assign, as well as up- or
downgrading the severity.
I think that the problem justifies marking it as 'important', but
hesitated to mark it 'grave' because the machine eventually booted.
Kind regards,
--Toni++
