Problems upgrading GRUB to GRUB2 while upgrading to Squeeze from Lenny
Hello!
I have this small problem to upgrade GRUB to GRUB2 when upgrading my
boxes from Lenny to Squeeze.
This problem seems to be related to using Raid or not, as the servers
I've tested on and want to upgrade is either using mdadm-raid or
hardware-raid. (I have not been able to test on a non-raid system as i
don't have one)
The problem is that grub-pc package wont install as it fails on a
problem like this:
Setting up grub-pc (1.98+20100804-14) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst: line 270: 18302 Killed
grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy
dpkg: error processing grub-pc (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 137
configured to not write apport reports
dpkg: dependency problems
prevent configuration of grub:
grub depends on grub-pc; however:
Package grub-pc is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing grub (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
configured to not write apport reports
Errors were encountered while processing:
grub-pc
grub
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
And I've tried a few other things to just get more information but
without success.
grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
/usr/sbin/grub-install: line 285: 18340 Killed
$grub_mkdevicemap --device-map=$device_map $no_floppy
grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy
Killed
This is the setup of the system and partitions I have:
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 5.1G 2.7G 2.2G 55% /
tmpfs 1013M 0 1013M 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10M 2.6M 7.5M 26% /dev
tmpfs 1013M 0 1013M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 59M 19M 37M 34% /boot
/dev/sda4 129G 63G 60G 52% /var
uname -a
Linux web2-old 2.6.32.15-1-grsec #1 SMP Mon Jun 28 05:23:44 BST 2010

So now I am asking for advice from you guys for a solution on this.
Kind regards,
