| _robbat2|irssi | cjwatson: ping | 21:35 |
| _robbat2|irssi | "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed." | 21:36 |
| _robbat2|irssi | "This is a fatal error" | 21:36 |
| _robbat2|irssi | I do not know where it's actually logging to | 21:37 |
| _robbat2|irssi | ah, mucking around I get an idea | 21:37 |
| _robbat2|irssi | /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible!. | 21:37 |
| _robbat2|irssi | /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required when the root device is on a RAID array or LVM volume. | 21:37 |
| cjwatson | _robbat2|irssi: http://grub.enbug.org/BIOS_Boot_Partition may help. you should be able to create one in the partitioner | 22:10 |
| cjwatson | _robbat2|irssi: (it logs to /var/log/syslog, also on alt-f4) | 22:10 |
| _robbat2|irssi | yeah I did that already and solved it | 22:29 |
| _robbat2|irssi | i'd previously used mbr-gpt and Grub1 | 22:29 |
| _robbat2|irssi | saving the need for a dedicated EFI BIOS boot partition | 22:30 |
| _robbat2|irssi | basically it just chainloads to the first linux partition instead | 22:30 |
| === Guest95250 is now known as ogra | ||
| cjwatson | sure, partitions are cheaper on GPT than on MBR though; fewer annoying limits | 22:43 |
| cjwatson | so we can avoid having to store the boot loader in unsafe places | 22:43 |
| _robbat2|irssi | w/ gpt-mbr grub still ends up in / or a dedicated /boot if you have one | 22:59 |
| _robbat2|irssi | just that the MBR sector, in addition to the EE GPT protective layout, has a little piece of code to chainload to the first linux partition | 23:00 |
| _robbat2|irssi | no need for a partition at all | 23:00 |
| _robbat2|irssi | http://packages.gentoo.org/package/sys-boot/mbr-gpt | 23:02 |
| _robbat2|irssi | it's also useful in that you can use it to get good GPT support on classic BIOS easily | 23:02 |
| _robbat2|irssi | unfortunetly teh upstream site is dead | 23:02 |
| cjwatson | the problem with putting GRUB in a filesystem is that it is vulnerable to being broken if the filesystem does otherwise legitimate maintenance operations | 23:05 |
| cjwatson | that's why we (GRUB upstream) don't recommend it | 23:05 |
| cjwatson | loading the modules from a filesystem is fine, but it's better for the core image to be in a fixed location | 23:06 |
| _robbat2|irssi | <--- Gentoo's grub1 maintainer, but not our grub2 maintainer | 23:07 |
| * cjwatson nods | 23:07 | |
| * cjwatson <- grub2 developer, Debian/Ubuntu grub1 (when I have to) and grub2 maintainer | 23:07 | |
| cjwatson | though more immediately, father who should be going to see what his daughter wants ;-) | 23:08 |
| _robbat2|irssi | noted, keeping the fixed location for the stage1.5 is strongly preferred | 23:08 |
| _robbat2|irssi | l8r, thx for being around to chat | 23:15 |
