This should *not* be made default because grub's native drivers don't get very much testing, and they do cause grub to hang on some hardware, but you can likely get around this limitation with: grub-install --target=i386-pc --disk-module native /dev/sdX If you want to test it without installing g

Re: Future of installing GRUB to LVM volumes (and loop devices)

2015-05-15 Thread Jordan Uggla
ot/boot /dev/mapper/vg-lv ; That is a nonsensical grub-install command. You're telling grub-install that you want grub's boot sector and core.img to be installed to a device that cannot possibly be accessed by your BIOS (unless you have a BIOS that understands LVM). It may be that it should be failing with a better error message, or that there is a better example of what should be working that isn't, but I would never expect this command to work. I'm not even sure what semantics you would expect from this command, and if it happened to do what you wanted it to do in the past I can only imagine that that was a "lucky" quirk of the implementation. -- Jordan Uggla (Jordan_U on irc.freenode.net) ___ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
