FYI, I'm hitting something similar, but for mdraid. Now, according to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=540549 my problem was fixed long ago, in grub-1.97, but I'm running lucid, with grub-install -v returning: grub-install (GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu9)
My variant of this bug says: grub-install /dev/sda /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md1'. Auto-detection of a filesystem module failed. Please specify the module with the option `--modules' explicitly. grub-install --modules=/boot/grub/mdraid.mod /dev/sda /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md1'. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md1'. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md1'. You attempted a cross-disk install, but the filesystem containing /boot/grub does not support UUIDs. cat /proc/mdstat md1 : active raid1 sdc1[3] sda1[0] 530100 blocks super 1.0 [3/2] [UU_] i.e. is mdraid version 1.0 and not version 0.9 Th fs itself is ext4 I believe I will be able to work around this by not using raid for the /boot directory, but this is annoying :-( ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #540549 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=540549 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484798 Title: grub-probe: error: no mapping exists (with encrypted root disk) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
