Package: grub-ieee1275 Version: 2.00-7 Followup-For: Bug #685295 i'm seeing the same behavior.
Interestingly, if i boot the machine into target disk mode, and then from another host, mount the grub hfs volume, and then: mv grub.cfg grub.cfg.old then i can reboot this machine and get a grub command prompt. From that command prompt, i can do: configfile grub.cfg.old and that gives me a functional menu, which i can operate and the system then boots fine. if i then create a new grub.cfg which has as its contents only the single line: configfile grub.cfg.old then i get back to the "invalid memory access" situation. --dkg *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/mapper/vg_gandalf0-root / ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/vg_gandalf0-home /home ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/vg_gandalf0-var /var ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/vg_gandalf0-tmp /tmp ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda2 /boot/grub hfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=0,gid=0 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg insmod normal *********************** END /boot/grub/grub.cfg *********************** BEGIN /proc/mdstat cat: /proc/mdstat: No such file or directory *********************** END /proc/mdstat *********************** BEGIN LVM --- Volume group --- VG Name vg_gandalf0 System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 6 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 5 Open LV 4 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 37.21 GiB PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 9525 Alloc PE / Size 4352 / 17.00 GiB Free PE / Size 5173 / 20.21 GiB VG UUID Rs2dhl-pVk6-0PnF-Zocw-1208-2DS3-QiatYt --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda3 VG Name vg_gandalf0 PV Size 37.21 GiB / not usable 2.00 MiB Allocatable yes PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 9525 Free PE 5173 Allocated PE 4352 PV UUID x6Qx1M-0acF-ctks-QF83-2E0Z-27oE-ee3OwJ --- Logical volume --- LV Path /dev/vg_gandalf0/root LV Name root VG Name vg_gandalf0 LV UUID Rla4c1-BniA-N5Mc-ti4P-kkQV-Y9Gk-PLgOgr LV Write Access read/write LV Creation host, time tom, 2012-12-19 20:31:52 +0000 LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 5.00 GiB Current LE 1280 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto -
