Couly you try to find out the exact revision?
Vladimir, the source that works for is at rev 3586.
It doesn't make any sense since there files modified since Nov 14 are
always compiled as 32-bit
I checked further. When I ran the compiled 64-bit grub-install on an
SD card, the SD booted fine. The same grub-install doesn't work my
/dev/sda.
I zeroed into this problem and it's repeatable. It's the partition
table + reiserfs. Works fine except when the disk partition contains 2 or more
physical partitions and an extended partitions.
Use fdisk to create the following partitions:
1) create physical partition 1. 10MB
2) create physical partition 2. 10MB
3) create extended partition using the remaining space
4) create logical partition 5 using the remaining space
5) mkreiserfs on partition 5, mount and grub2 on it
6) reboot and it hangs
That's pretty weird since no recent changes to reiserfs or msdos part
but I can attempt to recreate. Could you perhaps try to bisect to get
exact faulting revision? Your range spans 20 intensive commits.
Bisecting it is at most 5 attempts but will simplify the debugging greately.
Works if:
1) Partition 1 removed or
2) use non-reiserfs for partition 5
Here's my partitions ...
Disk /dev/sda: 274.9 GB, 274877906944 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 2048 22527 10240 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 22528 43007 10240 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 43008 536870911 268413952 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 45056 536870911 268412928 83 Linux
Thanks,
Jeff
