Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-14
Severity: important
I installed a fresh server in SATA environment using mdadm. All went
smooth even rebooting from one or the other disk after installation.
I used a net install SQUEEZE CD from around 08/2010.
After having removed the linux-image-2.6.32-5-trunk-amd64 image from
installation, I again tried my RAID setup and from here I'm unable to
boot from
HDD who whas sda during installation. Worth, when booting GRUB I see the
welcome message, than quickly appears some errors and the server is
going to reboot,
no GRUB Cli even in rescue mode :-(! Pressing SHIFT key during GRUB
start gives only a blanck screen, nothing usable.
With a camera I could get an image from the procedure and saw:
GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!
error: no such device 83fe9f48-467b-43bc-bffa-0c0f09be70a5
error: no such disk
error: no suitable mode found
and server is rebooting
the above UUID device is the / partition wich is /dev/md2. Separate is
/boot being /dev/md0 partition.
Booting from other HDD or from entire RAID area is working well.
Now I enabled in /etc/default/grub
[...]
GRUB_TERMINAL=console
ran update-grub and try again my RAID area: booting from each HDD is
effective!
I checked my raid area with boot_info_script055.sh script, everything is
fine (output is filename RESULTS.txt below).
