upgrade-from-grub-legacy failure

[Wolfgang Schulze-Zachau]

Hi all,

I was asked to report the failure of grup to be upgraded here. What
follows is the output of "/usr/sbin/grub-probe
--device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --target=fs -v /boot/grub":

build5:~# /usr/sbin/grub-probe --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map
--target=fs -v /boot/grub >/tmp/grub-failure.txt
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: Cannot stat
`/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST3300831AS_3NF0GST8', skipping.
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: Cannot stat
`/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST3300831AS_3NF0H7L9', skipping.
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: changing current directory to /dev.
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: changing current directory to dri.
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: changing current directory to snd.
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: changing current directory to net.
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: changing current directory to shm.
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: info: opening md0.
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no such disk.

I should probably mention that there was a problem during the upgrade.
This machine runs entirely on a software RAID1 (no boot partition, and
root is mounted on /dev/md0). During the upgrade to squeeze, mdadm found
that the device ID for md0 had changed. I updated the
/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file, but forgot to run update-initramfs, and then
subsequent boots failed until I booted into rescue mode and ran the
command from the rescue shell.
The system now boots, using the chainloader. However, during the boot
process I also get error messages that some information could not be
read from the drives.

Detailed log files are available if needed.
