 Posted: Mon Aug 06, 2012 3:30 pm Post subject: Problem with Grub - simstack_alloc_base failed? |
 |
|
Tried to update grub this morning to grub-0.97-r12. When trying to re-install grub I get the following:
| Code: | grub: asmstub.c:215: grub_stage2: Assertion `simstack_alloc_base != ((void *) -1)' failed.
Aborted |
Looking at the build, I noticed the same error during the copy phase:
| Code: |
* Copying files from /lib/grub and /usr/share/grub to //boot/grub
grub: asmstub.c:215: grub_stage2: Assertion `simstack_alloc_base != ((void *) -1)' failed.
/var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-0.97-r12/temp/environment: line 3939: 24733 Done egrep -v '^[[:space:]]*(#|$|default|fallback|initrd|password|splashimage|timeout|title)' "${grub_config}"
24734 Aborted | /sbin/grub --batch --device-map="${dir}"/device.map > /dev/null
* Grub has been installed to //boot successfully. |
Thought it could be related to filesystem (ie: boot was full), but the filesystem looks good:
| Code: |
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 1.5G 304M 1.1G 22% /
/dev/root 1.5G 304M 1.1G 22% /

This happens on two separate boxes (as of right now). I'll check with other boxes.
Here is my emerge --info output

UPDATE: rolling back to grub-0.97-r10.ebuild results in the same problem. This grub version was working fine prior.
UPDATE: looking to be pax/grsec issue with grub - here is a relevant thread: http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2963&p=11997#p11997
Any ideas?
Thanks!
