Michael Prokop 91e047a486 TT#105407 Ensure lvm2 is present before grub-install is executed ... grub-pc >=2.04-11 has a new behavior regarding /boot/grub/i386-pc/ handling, where we end up with an empty /boot/grub/i386-pc/ after *successful* grub-install execution: | root@grml ~ # vgchange -ay | 3 logical volume(s) in volume group "ngcp" now active | root@grml ~ # mount /dev/mapper/ngcp-root /mnt | root@grml ~ # grml-chroot /mnt /bin/bash | Writing /etc/debian_chroot ... | (spce)root@grml:/# cd | (spce)root@grml:~# grub-install /dev/sda | Installing for i386-pc platform. | Installation finished. No error reported. | (spce)root@grml:~# ls -la /boot/grub/i386-pc/ | total 16 | drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Dec 16 12:04 . | drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Dec 16 12:07 .. This causes the installed system to fail to boot with: | GRUB loading.. | Welcome to GRUB! | | error: file `/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found. | grub rescue> _ The underlying issue is that recent grub versions unlink the files inside /boot/grub/i386-pc, though it doesn't report anything about it (even under `--verbose` execution). This is triggered in our situation, as lvm2's vgs binary isn't present yet. In earlier versions of grub this wasn't causing any problems and grub-install happily installed the files inside /boot/grub/i386-pc, even though we installed lvm2 only afterwards via our metapackages. To ensure lvm2 is available during installation time within grml-debootstrap, explicitly add to it list of packages to be installed. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=977544 for further details regarding the grub bug. Change-Id: I27a1cd18777526eb26b838fae88d4d87b6e93467		6 years ago
