SOLVED Re: Sid: Grub2 faling to boot: Unknown device UUID
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Just to continue to with the saga, today I decided to just screw it
and reintall, to try to install Grub2 first since upgrading from Grub
to Grub2 just would not boot.
I installed Grub2, with only /dev/hda plugged in so that /dev/hdb
would not be formatted since the Debian installer refuses to NOT
repartition disks. Fine. With just /dev/hda plugged in, Grub2 booted
just fine.
However, as soon as I plugged /dev/hdb in and tried to boot, Grub
choked with "error 2". Whatever that is. I used the rescue function,
mounted /dev/hdb1, put it in the fstab, had everything working and
executed "update-grub". But it still would not boot, "error 2".
I tried twice more, Grub and Grub2, no luck. As soon as I plugged the
second IDE drive in, Grub would refuse to boot.
LILO works. So my server is back to using LILO, because GRUB just
won't work. I'm sure it's just my server, being old and crotchity,
but I'm lost as to why Grub worked last week, before Grub2 installed
the UUIDs and messed things up, but Grub doesn't work this week.
I hate it when that happens. Welcome back, LILO. Long time no see.
