Please post the output of:
I checked pre and post upgrade and debconf-show grub-pc is identical. I didn't reboot the box, I just updated the package again, run what you asked and downgrade grub again. If there was something wrong with the configuration I'd guess just downgrading wouldn't solve the problem. This is the first grub upgrade that has been made on this box and nothing was changed from installation. As you can see it runs on a RAID1. There are just 2 partition: / and swap. I can spot a difference between this non booting box and a box that boot: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" # not booting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.dpm=1" # booting These are 2 very different machine in terms of partition layout etc... still the message was related to "color" that make me think "splash" could be an interesting difference. Sorry if I didn't take note about the exact error. If you need the exact missing symbol I'll upgrade again and reboot the box ASAP (a couple of days). thanks > debconf-show grub-pc grub-pc/mixed_legacy_and_grub2: true * grub2/linux_cmdline_default: quiet grub-pc/install_devices_failed_upgrade: true grub-pc/kopt_extracted: false grub-pc/timeout: 1 grub-pc/hidden_timeout: false grub2/kfreebsd_cmdline_default: quiet grub-pc/install_devices_empty: false * grub2/linux_cmdline: grub2/device_map_regenerated: grub-pc/install_devices_failed: false grub-pc/disk_description: grub-pc/chainload_from_menu.lst: true grub-pc/partition_description: grub2/kfreebsd_cmdline: grub-pc/postrm_purge_boot_grub: false grub-pc/install_devices_disks_changed: * grub-pc/install_devices: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD20EZRX-00D8PB0_WD-WMC4M0855797 > cat /proc/mounts rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 udev /dev devtmpfs rw,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=250868,mode=755 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 0 0 tmpfs /run tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,size=405044k,mode=755 0 0 /dev/disk/by-uuid/d823f9f2-691b-4124-8475-e0b38ebeda20 / ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 securityfs /sys/kernel/security securityfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0 tmpfs /run/lock tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=5120k 0 0 tmpfs /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=755 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,xattr,release_agent=/lib/systemd/systemd-cgroups-agent,name=systemd 0 0 pstore /sys/fs/pstore pstore rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpuset,clone_children 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpu,cpuacct 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/devices cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,devices 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,freezer 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls,net_prio cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,net_cls,net_prio 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,blkio 0 0 cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event cgroup rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,perf_event 0 0 systemd-1 /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc autofs rw,relatime,fd=21,pgrp=1,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct 0 0 hugetlbfs /dev/hugepages hugetlbfs rw,relatime 0 0 mqueue /dev/mqueue mqueue rw,relatime 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw,relatime 0 0 tmpfs /run/user/1000 tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=202524k,mode=700,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 > ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 16 04:06 ata-WDC_WD20EZRX-00D8PB0_WD-WMC4M0755186 -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 16 04:06 ata-WDC_WD20EZRX-00D8PB0_WD-WMC4M0755186-part1 -> ../../sda1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 16 04:06 ata-WDC_WD20EZRX-00D8PB0_WD-WMC4M0755186-part2 -> ../../sda2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 16 04:06 ata-WDC_WD20EZRX-00D8PB0_WD-WMC4M0755186-part3 -> ../../sda3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 16 04:06 ata-WDC_WD20EZRX-00D8PB0_WD-WMC4M0855797 -> ../../sdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 16 04:06 ata-WDC_WD20EZRX-00D8PB0_WD-WMC4M0855797-part1 -> ../../sdb1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 16 04:06 ata-WDC_WD20EZRX-00D8PB0_WD-WMC4M0855797-part2 -> ../../sdb2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 16 04:06 ata-WDC_WD20EZRX-00D8PB0_WD-WMC4M0855797-part3 -> ../../sdb3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 16 04:06 md-name-kerberos:0 -> ../../md0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 16 04:06 md-name-kerberos:1 -> ../../md1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 16 04:06 md-uuid-c38629be:44b7139d:3be7b954:8121bf9f -> ../../md1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 16 04:06 md-uuid-f6cbb5e7:f5bb5e0c:48bf2fe2:7e0cde66 -> ../../md0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 16 04:06 wwn-0x50014ee003a4a179 -> ../../sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 16 04:06 wwn-0x50014ee003a4a179-part1 -> ../../sda1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 16 04:06 wwn-0x50014ee003a4a179-part2 -> ../../sda2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 16 04:06 wwn-0x50014ee003a4a179-part3 -> ../../sda3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 16 04:06 wwn-0x50014ee0ae4f2d64 -> ../../sdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 16 04:06 wwn-0x50014ee0ae4f2d64-part1 -> ../../sdb1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 16 04:06 wwn-0x50014ee0ae4f2d64-part2 -> ../../sdb2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 16 04:06 wwn-0x50014ee0ae4f2d64-part3 -> ../../sdb3 > Thanks, > -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
