Hey,
I just tested 2009-01 beta 2 for x86_64. Used ext4 for my root partition. When booting I keep getting error code 2 from grub, I even removed my 2nd harddisk, because I thought that was the problem. Is it possible that because I used the ftp install, that not all necessary packages are moved to core?
That is the only thing that I can think of causing this problem, or could it be a bug? Can't be, the overlord eats them like candy right ;)
Are there more people having problem with the ftp install and ext4?
To be clear: this is not an error booting the ISO, but an error booting the installed system?
Grub error #2: http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html#stage1_5 "The selected disk doesn't exist"
I imagine this is ext4 related. You are using grub and not grub-gfx, correct?
Gerhard, any insight here? I, myself, haven't installed an ext4 system, so I am not sure about this.
Yes it's the new installed system, not the ISO. I first thought I my was my second hard disk and grub messing something up, but after removing that I got the same problem. I'm using the normal grub from core.
I'm going to try the core ISO to see if that works.
Can you try the exact same install with ext3 too? I want to know if this is a potential issue with our ext4 support.
I just tried doing the same ftp install with ext3 and I still got the same error. Also the same error with a ext4 core install. So it must be something from my side. I tried to change the root setting in grub and the kernel root=/dev/sda1 parameter, instead of the UUID, but I still got the same problem.
