Description of problem: Using the 5b1 dual dvd to install to a partition with grub2 installed also 'to the partition' in order to multi-boot into core.img from another grub2 menu, the boot fails. In /root/drakx/install.log the grub2 package installs OK, and os-prober runs, but grub2-install fails with: grub2-install: error: install device isn't specified Running the following after chroot into sdb16: [root@jackodesktop /]# grub2-install --grub-setup=/bin/true /dev/sdb16 Installing for i386-pc platform. Installation finished. No error reported. I will reboot and report back. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Boot still failed. I installed btrfs-progs in the chroot, ran grub2-install --grub-setup=/bin/true /dev/sdb16 and followed it with update-grub. It now boots.
Summary: Dual iso 5b1: grub2-install: error: install device isn't specified => Dual iso 5b1 installed to btrfs /: grub2-install: error: install device isn't specified
Whiteboard: (none) => 5Beta1
I added btrsf-progs as Require for os-prober. see https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14467 This is not ideal but does fix this issue. If some other way is found to make sure btrfs-progs is always available when grub2/os-prober are in use then this require may be removed. Closing as fixed for now
