<http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33762> Summary: can't install on virtio virtual device in KVM machine Project: GNU GRUB Submitted by: fenski Submitted on: Wed 13 Jul 2011 07:50:14 AM GMT Category: Installation Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Software Error Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: Release: 1.98 Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Hello. I tried to install grub2 on my virtual machine which uses Virtio as an emulation layer for devices. This is what I got: Setting up grub-pc (1.98+20100804-14) ...

One more thing. I have many virtual machines and this is the only one where grub2 can't be installed. Tried to find some differences between machines, but with no luck. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33762> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@... https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub |

Found a difference eventually! Don't know why fdisk shows it in the way I though it's the same as on my other machines. cfdisk/parted show differences. This is machine where I can install grub without problem: serwer:~# cfdisk -P t /dev/vda Partition Table for /dev/vda ---Starting---- ----Ending----- Start Number of # Flags Head Sect Cyl ID Head Sect Cyl Sector Sectors -- ----- ---- ---- ----- ---- ---- ---- ----- ----------- ----------- 1 0x80 1 1 0 0x83 254 63 19458 63 312608772 2 0x00 0 1 19459 0x82 254 63 19580 312608835 1959930 3 0x00 0 0 0 0x00 0 0 0 0 0 4 0x00 0 0 0 0x00 0 0 0 0 0 serwer:~# And this is problematic machine: mainsrv:~# cfdisk -P t /dev/vda Partition Table for /dev/vda ---Starting---- ----Ending----- Start Number of # Flags Head Sect Cyl ID Head Sect Cyl Sector Sectors -- ----- ---- ---- ----- ---- ---- ---- ----- ----------- ----------- 1 0x80 32 33 0 0x83 254 63 39039 2048 627175552 2 0x00 0 1 39040 0x82 254 63 39161 627177600 1959930 3 0x00 0 0 0 0x00 0 0 0 0 0 4 0x00 0 0 0 0x00 0 0 0 0 0 mainsrv:~# So seems it's not possible to install grub when first partiotion starts from 2048 sector. Is it bug or intended behaviour? grub 0.x aka legacy works fine. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33762> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@... https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub |

Judging from the output it looks a lot like an issue with xvda1 w/o xvda which is fixed upstream. Could you please test the latest upstream? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33762> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@... https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub |

I thought I'm talking with upstream ;) In case you meant 1.99 release then this is output from grub-probe with that version: mainsrv:~# /usr/sbin/grub-probe --device-map="/boot/grub/device.map" --target=fs -v /boot/grub /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: Scanning for dmraid_nv RAID devices on disk hd0. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: scanning hd0 for LVM. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: no LVM signature found. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: Scanning for mdraid09 RAID devices on disk hd0. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: Scanning for mdraid1x RAID devices on disk hd0. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: Scanning for mdraid09 RAID devices on disk hd0. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: Scanning for mdraid09 RAID devices on disk hd0,msdos2. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: Scanning for mdraid09 RAID devices on disk hd0,msdos1. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. error: cannot seek `/dev/vda'. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: Scanning for mdraid1x RAID devices on disk hd0. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: Scanning for mdraid1x RAID devices on disk hd0,msdos2. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: Scanning for mdraid1x RAID devices on disk hd0,msdos1. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. error: cannot seek `/dev/vda'. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: scanning hd0 for LVM. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: no LVM signature found. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: scanning hd0,msdos2 for LVM. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: no LVM signature found. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: scanning hd0,msdos1 for LVM. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: no LVM signature found. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: /dev/vda1 starts from 2048. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: opening the device hd0. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: Partition 0 starts from 2048. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: opening hd0,msdos1. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: the size of hd0 is 629145600. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot seek `/dev/vda'. mainsrv:~# There are new parts wrt RAID/LVM but still it cannot seek /dev/vda.

Update of bug #33762 (project grub):
Status: None => Fixed Open/Closed: Open => Closed _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #7: There was a similar bug report because of wrong partition offset and which was fixed. Given the lack of response to the additional questions I suppose the fix corrected this as well. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33762> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@... https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub |
