Bug#545675: grub-pc --configure fails on linux-image-2.6.30-1-686
xcomm
Version: 1.97~beta2-2
Severity: normal
Dear grub-pc Maintainers,
just wanna note that it failed with linux-image-2.6.30-1-686 on unstable, but linux-image-2.6.29-2-686 worked smooth.
Don't know what changed in 2.6.30, maybe something about Resume (this is promting now) or LVM2.
The Error was regarding:
grub-pc: grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /.
Leaving grub-pc half-configured and rendering it to have me booting it from hand via the grub-shell.
After booting linux-image-2.6.29-2-686 dpkg --configre was running without an error.
Best regards, Jan

Dear grub-pc Maintainers,
The 2.6.30 issue seems to be related to changes in LVM2.

Hi Grub-pc Maintainers,
I had found Felix Zielcke's post here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-b...@lists.debian.org/msg686387.html
<cite>
Check with `ls -l /dev/mapper/' if the files there are real devices or
symlinks to /dev/dm-?
If they're symlinks then this is #542435 which is actually caused by an
upstream dmsetup change: #542422
Though that has been fixed now but it seems like for some people just
upgrading the package and rebooting doestn't solve the problem.
In that case run `echo change > /sys/block/dm-?/uevent'
Replace the ? with every /dev/dm-* device you have.
</cite>
But the issue is not solved this way (unstable is freshest - I did
what above suggested) or maybe not related to dmsetup.

drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 5300 9. Sep 11:37 ../
vg-lv--root -> ../dm-0
is still linked this way, but only under 2.6.30 not under 2.6.29, so
it seems somehow Kernel related.
Best regard, Jan

Oh that gives me an idea I totally didn't think about with the other
reports.
Your initrd maybe was created with that buggy dmsetup udev rule instead
of the fixed one.
`update-initramfs -c -t -k all' and a reboot should fix this if that's
the case.

Hi Felix,
You are great! :-)
The new initrd cleaned the issue.
