Exact error message?
Hi Vladimir,
Just to followup on this, I was able to use my iPad's camera to capture the
boot sequence & here's what the messages were:
error: file "/@/boot/grub/i386-pc/raid.mod" not found.
error: file "/@/boot/grub/i386-pc/efi_gop.mod" not found.
error: file "/@/boot/grub/i386-pc/efi_uga.mod" not found.
error: file "/@/boot/grub/locale/en.mo.gz" not found.
error: no suitable video mode found.
error: no video mode activated.
error: file "/@/boot/grub/i386-pc/efi_gop.mod" not found.
error: file "/@/boot/grub/i386-pc/efi_uga.mod" not found.
Booting "Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-17-generic"
error: sparse file not allowed.
The last message is a known problem with grubenv on btrfs. The other error
messages I think have to do with the Gigabyte hybrid BIOS, which can handle
drives larger than 2TB. (My MB is a Gigabyte X58A-UD3Rv2.) GRUB is detecting
this at boot & tries to configure it, though my drives are 1TB. I didn't build
the efi support, only the bios support so these files don't exist in i386-pc, &
that's why these messages are appearing.
After this, the boot does proceed, but I still have the initramfs problem. So,
GRUB does appear to be working correctly & the configure options do appear to
be the minimum I need.
Thanks for your help!
-John
