Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98+20100804-14 Severity: normal Tags: d-i To reproduce: create eg. a RAID5/6 array in Debian installer and furthermore, partition the array (/dev/md0), for instance with msdos partition table. Note that if you do NOT partition /dev/md0 but use the whole device as an FS container, this problem DOES NOT happen.
Next, choose root file system to be located on one of these new partitions. I've tried XFS and ext4 with this, does not affect the behavior. Continue installation. When grub2 begins to install, it fails with: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem. Auto-detection of a filesystem of /dev/md0p1 failed. Please report this together with the output of "/usr/sbin/grub-probe --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --target=fs -v /boot/grub" to <bug-g...@gnu.org> The output of that command is: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd1 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd1 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd1 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd2 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd2 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd2 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd3 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd3 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd3 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd1 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd1 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd1 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd2 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd2 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd2 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd3 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd3 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd3 is 2097152. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: changing current directory to /dev. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: opening md/0. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem. fdisk -l shows, among other things: Disk /dev/sda: 1073 MB, 1073741824 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 507 1046528 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/sdc: 1073 MB, 1073741824 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 1 507 1046528 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/sdd: 1073 MB, 1073741824 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdd1 1 507 1046528 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/sdb: 1073 MB, 1073741824 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 507 1046528 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/md0: 2142 MB, 2142240768 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/md0p1 * 257 384256 1536000 83 Linux /dev/md0p2 384257 523008 555008 82 Linux swap / Solaris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
