Fedora 17 Desktop OEM image faild during grub

[hanumant borwandkar]

Hello,

I building Fedora 17 with  kiwi version v5.05.10 which installed on Fedora 17 host., Previously it was working with kiwi version 5.0.  I think may be issue with grub rpm package.

fedora stores grub in /usr/share/grub & /usr/lib/grub  may be suse stores /usr/share/grub2 & /usr/lib/grub2

Facing error during create image

May-02 16:04:50 <1> : Creating grub2 boot partition map
May-02 16:04:50 <1> : --> Using fs-uuid search method
May-02 16:04:50 <1> : grub search fs-uuid: bf58b5fa-7bbe-4277-8f57-ae312d53fe8f

May-02 16:04:52 <3> : No grub2 stage files found in boot image
May-02 16:04:52 <1> : EXEC [sync]

If i could get some input so that image can be built.

Hi,

Uhm, sorry that I broke this. You are most probably right with some
path conflicts. Would it be possible to login to your build machine
(via ssh) so that I can reproduce it there directly ?

Thanks

Regards,
Marcus

thanks for the login possibility. I have create a patch but I'm not
sure if it solves all issues. Would you mind to give it a test ?
I think you install from master so here is the commit:

commit d34ec038ae1db6f465df1650fd1af35b164211e5

- allow alternative grub2 search path lib/grub and share/grub
as it is packaged on Fedora

Hmm, my patch just searches grub2 data also in lib/grub and/or share/grub
whereas suse packages it as lib/grub2 and share/grub2. I would have expected
this to work either for Fedora 17+18 and any of the following or not at
all. But only for Fedora 18 but not for Fedora 17 sounds strange to me

Would you mind to check if there is a difference in the packaging of
grub2 between Fedora 17 and 18 ?

Do you have kiwi build log for a failed and a successful attempt ?
I'm interested in the changes here

Thanks much

Regards,
Marcus

Hi,

Image faliled installing on disk using installstick

Created and build successfully  Fedora 18 OEM image using kiwi version
May-19 03:06:07 <1> : kiwi version v5.05.15
GIT Commit: c54c74060e400a03867bf7a49f491042ad8a3106

Image installstick and installiso perfectly working on KVM Virtual machine.,But not on Real hardware desktop installstick /installiso boot failing  with error "Failed to find boot device!"  reboot in 120 second. also tried kiwidebug=1 to check HDD /dev/sda., disk itself is not detecting.

I think need some packages or kernel drivers in Initrd. i m using   rhel06-oem image template.

also getting some two prefix errors when loading grub2. "prefix not set"  but boot system properly.
