are you sure you were properly in the chroot when you ran grub2-install /dev/sda ?
nominally: boot the live media then run: | Code: | mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash |
| Code: | source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
grub2-install /dev/sda |

| Did you mount /proc (inside the chroot) with mount -t proc proc proc or witrh mount -o bind /proc /<path to chroot-root>/proc ? |

Hi, i followed the handbook on a fresh new install of gentoo and i'm stuck with the same problem :/ did the procedure to be in chroot cleanly as well as i had an issue with it before.
My proc is mounted as well. |

Isn't the command in the Handbook like this? | Code: | | mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc |

It is
| Code: | Code Listing 1.4: Mounting /proc and /dev
# mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
# mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
# mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
|
Edit: I posted a bit quickly and due to some language bug, ( changed it ) my actual error is :
grub2-install: error: failed to get canonical path of `/boot/grub'. |

Same problem for me.
| Code: | grub2-install /dev/sda
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub2-install : erreur : impossible d'obtenir le chemin canonique de « /boot/grub ». |
And I have resolved it with:
| Code: | | mount -o rw,remount /dev/sda2 |
| Code: | grub2-install /dev/sda
Installing for i386-pc platform.
Installation terminée, sans erreur. |

What is the output of 'mount' (with no params).
Please post your /etc/fstab |

Found a solution. Honestly this should either be classified as a bug, the handbook should be appended or this topic should be a sticky since it happens every time without fail if you follow the gentoo handbook verbatim.
Assuming everything else is correct, from inside chroot, unmount your boot partition and then remount it from within. Thats it.
I've recently installed gentoo three times and this was the issue all tree times.
I would really like to know an explanation if anyone has any idea. My guess is that it has to do with the fact that Grub2 really likes to address drives by their GUID. All I can think is that by mounting it outside of chroot, and then chrooting the mounted drive somehow doesn't pass all the information needed to be passed. Just a guess. |

Hmm, this is the first time I'm seeing that as well - and I recently put a new hard drive in this machine...
There was this: | Code: | INFO: postinst
Your boot partition, detected as being mounted at /boot, is read-only.
It will be remounted in read-write mode temporarily.
Automatically remounting /boot as ro as it was previously. |
after the compilation of grub (2.02_beta2-r7) that I haven't seen before, either. |

This is certainly a bug. It was introduced by /usr/portage/eclass/mount-boot.eclass.
Testing if the boot partition is read only at line 61 is successful because proc_ro searches for a /boot readonly mount point and wrongly assumes that (for me) /dev/sr0 /livemnt/boot iso9660 ro,relatime,mode=0644 0 0 is the mount point he's looking for.
You can workaround the issue by replacing the sed command with sed -n '/^\/boot at line 57 of mount-boot.eclass by
| Code: |
local proc_ro=$(awk '{ print $2 " ," $4 "," }' /proc/mounts | sed -n '/^\/boot .*,ro,/p')
|

| Code: | t44 ~ # awk '{ print $2 " ," $4 "," }' /proc/mounts | sed -n '^/\/boot .*,ro,/p'
sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `^'
|
You should NOT made such advices which are completely untested, or ? |

Thank you for your notice, of course, I should've copied the working command. I wrote it by hand and switched ^ and /. Here is the right one
| Code: |
local proc_ro=$(awk '{ print $2 " ," $4 "," }' /proc/mounts | sed -n '/^\/boot .*,ro,/p')
|
Also it's line 58 and not 57. I'll edit my post to put the right command. |
