 Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2012 8:17 am Post subject: Cannot Compile grub2 |
 |
|
Hello,
I'm creating a new setup on amd64 with both mdraid and lvm. As I understood, to be able to boot on raid with version 1.2 metadata, i need grub 2, is this right?
I'm trying to emerge grub:2 but it does not compile and ends with the following error:
| Code: |
* ERROR: sys-boot/grub-9999 failed (compile phase):
* emake failed
*
* If you need support, post the output of 'emerge --info =sys-boot/grub-9999',
* the complete build log and the output of 'emerge -pqv =sys-boot/grub-9999'.
* The complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-9999/temp/build.log'.
* The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-9999/temp/environment'.
* S: '/var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-9999/work/grub-9999'
|
here is some info:
Does anyone as an idea how can fix this? Or can I boot my system without grub2?

Mind posting the actual error above the "ERROR: sys-boot/grub-9999 failed (compile phase):" message?
btw - this is a live-ebuild which checks out stuff from a bzr repo which we do not control. In other words, if they broke stuff, we cannot do much against that.
another hint: USE=custom-cflags is known to break stuff.
Update:
Looks like that automagic stuff is broken:

I tried already to remove the use flag custom-cflags but I get the same results / error.
Sorry, that's the error:

I their a way to install a stabilized version instead of the current bzr of grub 2? I don't mind about which bootloader I have, I just want to boot my system

You could try increasing #define GRUB_KERNEL_I386_PC_NO_REED_SOLOMON_PART 0x6e0 to 0x7f0 in include/grub/offsets.h (keep it divisible by 8 and don't increase too much) if you don't mind any hacking...
have a look at the ebuild commands so you can mess around with the sources in the workdir (/var/tmp/portage/...)

Small update:
I could get round my automake problem by downgrading automake to 1.11.1. New 1.11.2 seems to have an issue due to an upstream change making pkglib_{DATA,SCRIPTS} invalid. It needs to be pkgdata_{DATA_SCRIPTS} due to which grub2 modules are not longer installed...
But I cannot reproduce your issue here on my ~amd64

Currently I've 0x7e0 as value for GRUB_KERNEL_I386_PC_NO_REED_SOLOMON_PART. I've tried to change it to 0x7f0 but at each emerge the file is reverted back to 0x7e0. How can I make the change living for the next emerge?
I'm not running ~amd64, I just unmasked grub2. Should I use grub-1.99-r2.ebuild insteand of 9999 version?

you might want to do 'prepare', modify the sources and finally do 'merge'

at the beginning of the prepare I see those warnings, are them ok?

I tried with ebuild 1.99-r2 and it builds fine on my system. So I guess something is broken in the repository??

Those automake warnings are the same here. They are just warnings.
As I cannot debug on your system, I cannot help you with the repo - it compiles fine here. You could try filing a bug at the grub guys.
Glad that 1.99-r2 is working for you.

I'll try to fill a bug at grub.
I've now this issue, do you know how I should fix this?
| Code: | grub2-install /dev/sda
/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible!.
/sbin/grub2-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for cross-disk install. |

why are you using the 9999 version? 1.99-r2 is grub 2.

let see if I got it right, grub-1.99-r2 works and gives you what you need, grub-9999 gives you what you need but doesn't works?

No, grub-9999 does not compile so we forgot it right now. So then I installed grub-1.99-r2 which compile fine. Now I have to setup it (the version 1.99-r2) on my drives but it fails and give me that error:
| Code: | grub2-install /dev/sda
/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible!.
/sbin/grub2-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for cross-disk install. |
Sorry if it's not clear, I'm French

ignore that, run the following:
| Code: | | grub2-install -f /dev/sda |

ok so it works.
Now when I try booting, I get a error message complained about a drive and then a grub rescue prompt which does not recognise any command. What Am I missing?

sure it won't work, you have no valid entries...
follow this tutorial: http://dev.gentoo.org/~scarabeus/grub-2-guide.xml

what do you mean by no valid entry?
if I add this in 40_custom?
| Code: | menuentry 'GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.1.6-gentoo' --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
load_video
insmod gzio
insmod ext4
insmod raid
insmod mdraid1x
insmod part_gpt
insmod part_gpt
insmod part_gpt
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
set root='(mduuid/5dff816788f5fb9f460428d746210f6d)'

why insmod part_gpt more than once?
each one is an entry, in your previous config you did not had any entry as far as I could see.
add them, follow the manual and try.

cut and paste error
Yes previously I did not had those 2 entries. In fact I used | Code: | | grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg |
which contains those entries. I was thinking it was enough.
In fact I'm in a case not covered in that guide.
I'm using GPT but I don't have EFI based hardware. So I guess I can skip all the efi stuff, what do you think?

there is no logic in enabling EFI when you don't have it.
