Hi dib-gurus,
I'm trying to build a simple ubuntu VM image on a local Gigabyte BRIX
with a AMD A8-5557M APU with Ubuntu 16.04 installed and getting an odd
error. Hoping someone has some ideas...
The command I am running is:
disk-image-create -o /tmp/ubuntu.qcow2 --image-size=10 ubuntu vm
Everything goes smoothly until trying to write the MBR, at which point I
get the following error:
+ /usr/sbin/grub-install '--modules=biosdisk part_msdos'
--target=i386-pc /dev/loop0
Installing for i386-pc platform.
/usr/sbin/grub-install: warning: this msdos-style partition label has no
post-MBR gap; embedding won't be possible.
/usr/sbin/grub-install: error: embedding is not possible, but this is
required for cross-disk install.
/dev/loop0: [0047]:3 (/tmp/image.hk8wiFJe/image.raw)
I think you found a bug. The ARCH should be armhf, but
elements/bootloader/finalise.d/50-bootloader doesn't know what to do with
armhf, so it falls back to x86_64/amd64. Also, grub-pc is the package
that bootloader claims to need in its pkg-map file, but you really need
grub-efi-arm on arm boxes.
We may need to add the ability for pkg-map's to differentiate based on
ARCH.
If you intended to build an amd64 image, you need to set ARCH=amd64
before running disk-image-create, so it won't detect it by running
'dpkg --print-architecture'.
AMD A8 APU is actually amd64, AFAIK, Clint :) `dpkg
--print-architecture` correctly returns 'amd64'.
Best,
-jay
