Hi, GRUB 2 (1.95) refused to get installed on a GPT-partitioned server.
The layout is as follows: parted: Disk /dev/sda: 3000GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 17.4kB 32.0GB 32.0GB ext3 root 2 32.0GB 33.0GB 1000MB linux-swap swap 3 33.0GB 3000GB 2967GB data /proc/partitions: major minor #blocks name 8 0 2929686528 sda 8 1 31249983 sda1 8 2 976562 sda2 8 3 2897459948 sda3 8 16 488386584 sdb 8 17 15623181 sdb1 8 18 979965 sdb2 grub-setup fails with: datadump:~# grub-setup --root-device='(hd0,0)' '(hd0)' grub-setup: error: unknown device datadump:~# and grub-install has misleading errors: datadump:/boot/grub# grub-install --root-directory=/ --modules=gpt.mod --modules=ext2.mod '(hd0)' cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1. grub-setup: error: Cannot guess the root device. Specify the option ``--root-device''. datadump:/boot/grub# grub-install --root-directory=/ --modules=gpt.mod --modules=ext2.mod --root-device='(hd0,0)' '(hd0)' Unrecognized option `--root-device=(hd0,0)' [..] The rootdevice was /dev/sda1 while I tried this, booting from a second block device containing only the bootloader and kernel. Are there any quick (bandaid?) fixes to resolve this problem or should I use a different "hackaround" in the meanwhile? best regards, Michael Renner _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
