Bug#806574: debian-installer: Cannot boot from ISCSI target after successful installation
Package: debian-installer
Version: stable
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
Dear Maintainer,
installed to an ISCSI target with the Jessie installer (netboot).
The machine has one hard disc reported as sda.
Chose Manual Partitioning, ISCSI, selected the target as sdb, created a
partition sdb1 for /boot, sdb2 lvm, two logical volumes for / and swap.
Installed grub to the mbr of sdb. Installation reported not errors.
Reboot failed, the vol group and logical volumes on the ISCSI target were not
detected, however the lvs on the hard disc were.
Rebooted to another system, chrooted into the new system and executed update-
initramfs -u . I had checked the grub.cfg and the files under /etc/iscsi ,
everything seemed all right and I didn't change anything. Reboot was successful
after just recreating the initramfs.
Yours,
Klaus
