grub2 update

[devil]

This threat is not really a upgrade warning. The majority of users had no problem with updating to grub2. The ones that do had most probably altered config-files they should not have altered or have issues with LVM/RAID and/or encryption. I will leave this threat here, as it is DE/EN already and therefore fits nowhere else really.

:twisted:  May be some nasty user or mod might do a little imposition or extra excercise to split this into two or three threads in german and english to clean it.  :twisted:

Das Problem hatte ich doch auch schon, und es liegt vor dem Öffnen der /root-partition

Dear all,
for making sure everybody who is interested in this issue, I will hopefully explain a little bit more clear about my setup.

Aim is to setup siduction 2012.2 on a laptop with encryprted LV / VG according to siduction manual. I have done it with aptosid on 3 Laptops years ago.
With the last "dist-upgrade" on one of this laptops,I received the message during "update-grub": "core.img" is to big, can't be installed on MBR of /dev/sda. And it also failed to install into a logical volume.
So I decided to switch completly from aptosid to siduction.

I installed installed Siduction 2012.2 with following LV/VG setup on disk /dev/sda and everything was working well.

This is the LV-Setup:

  Block device           253:1For having newest packages and firmware for ipw2200, i have made a "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade".
Then I received the "update-grub" message, described above once more. For me, it looks like the easiest way seems to downgrade the grub packages to version 1.99 with apt-get install packageXY=version.
It run smoothly through with no error messages.
For being sure, I have made an "update-grub" once more.

But after rebooting the system it stops during boot and is going into initramfs shell.

"vgchange -ay" in the console will activate 2 logical volumes: spica-boot and spica-crypt
"cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/mapper/spica-crypt cryptroot" activates the password sequence and granted access to the crypted LV
"vgchange -ay" will activate now another 3 logical volumes: crypt_spica-root, crypt_spica-home,  crypt_spica-swap

Now I can exit initramfs and the system is booting into runlevel 5.

In "etc/default/grub" I have added a rootdelay of 5 and made "update-grub", but still the same problem during boot.

I tried to pick out the messages as follows:

Sorry, for maybe too long code messages, but for now I dont know further.

I see the problem is that the encrypted LV is not recognized.

It would be nice if you could help.
Thanks and regards,

@WhiteDwarf: Please post the 'linux' line from the /etc/grub/grub.cfg file, the content of /etc/crypttab as well as /etc/fstab.
And please give the output of

Code: [Select]

ls -al /dev/disk/by-label
ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid
ls -al /dev/mapperto check if the labels and uuids are picked up correctly.

P.S. You would be better of with a dedicated thread of your own... Though grub is part of the boot process, it is just one small part of it.
