[bug #25008] grub2 cannot read soft-raid partitions

[cengiz gunay]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #25008 (project grub):

Thanks for the reply. I realized what was wrong. I was creating the core.img
using grub-mkimage but when I ran grub-install it overwrote the image I
created previously. 

So the correct command should be:

grub-install --root-directory=/media/sdg2 --modules="linux raid ext2 gpt pc
biosdisk" /dev/sdg2

I still wonder why the "pc" and "linux" modules are not put in core.img when
I ran grub-install and modules like "pxe" and "bsd" were there?

The second reason I was confused was not understanding the function of
grub-install from the documentation. I now see that the grub-install manual
page has the crucial information in one sentence at the very end. I would
expect to see that sentence at the very top of the DESCRIPTION section, not
hidden after listing all the options.

If the user could see the steps that grub-install executes it would have
helped, too. grub-install should accept the '-v' option to pass to its
subordinate processes to verbosely display the steps it's executing to be able
to properly debug problems (mkimage, setup, etc.). I saw several examples on
the internet where grub-install is followed by grub-setup, which is
unnecessary since install does setup. So I probably am not the only one
confused.
