Hi. I just installed Cauldron i586 on a Dell Latitude E6510 and encrypted root, formatted with xfs and grub can't install. There is an error from "grub2-probe" about "unknown filesystem" Will attached bug report soon. Cheers, Stig
Well, I'm unable to access the encrypted disk at the moment and won't be able to upload the bug report.
Summary: Can't boot with encrypted root - xfs => Can't install grub with /boot formatted with xfs
Created attachment 10580 [details] ddebug.log.xz OK. I've narrowed it down a little more. If I format /boot with xfs, the installer and grub is unable to find the file system. ---- An error occured grub2-install failed: Installing for platform i386.pc. grub2-install: error: unknown filesystem. ...propagated. ----

report.bug is more useful that ddebug.log Please try again and when the bug has occurred: - plug a USB key - go to tty2 (alt+ctrl+F2) - run the "bug" command - then attach the report.bug.xz file to this bug

Also you can try to manually run the same command as in /boot/grub2/install.sh but with --debug eg in the installer: # go to tty2 chroot /mnt $(< /boot/grub2/install.sh) --debug&>/tmp/grub2-install.log Then copy this /tmp/grub2-install.log file to some USB key & attach it there

(In reply to Barry Jackson from comment #6) > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1575797 Thanks for this Barry. I've applied the patch from Fedora and grub2 built fine. Would it be OK if I pushed this update to, potentially, fix this bug? Cheers, Stig

How can I test that? I can do an installation with /boot formatted with xfs, but then I won't be able to boot to install a new version of grub. I could try to install by build before I reboot a new installation, but I've never done that before so I've no idea if it'll work. Anyway, according to BZR, the patch works and has been merged into grub upstream. Cheers, Stig

Not sure I follow that but I think you can pause the install before grub2 is installed and manually install it from a tty, I did that once IIRC but it was a long time ago. Maybe ask Thierry about how to do that. > > Anyway, according to BZR, the patch works and has been merged into grub > upstream. > Fine by me but I'm no longer the grub2 maintainer, maybe check with Martin and Thierry as well :) > Cheers, > Stig Cheers, Barry

Created attachment 10585 [details] small wrapper to add a new repo I'm using this small script to add ~/repo medium to my local mirror (which is in /mageia/unstable/x86_64/ for cauldron x86_64) which I reexport through a local nginx server
I confirm that the FC patches enables grub2 to install (and boot succeeded)
