*** Bug 484986 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** pjones: does Nate's patch look reasonable? I have similar problems with Fedora 11-Preview. 11-Beta works but after installing 11-Preview in same virtual machine, GRUB is not installed. More information on fedora-virt mailinglist. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-April/msg00269.html Is this a separate bug? This looks fine, it's in -50 . tag request: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/1692 * Wed Apr 29 2009 Peter Jones <pjones> - 0.97-50 - Handle virtio_blk disks and their crazy new device name in grub-install (rhbz#479760) Just tested, -50 seems to work fine Tagged now, closing |
Created attachment 328792 [details] Patch to allow grub-install to work on virtio_blk devices. Description of problem: grub-install does not support installing on virtio_blk devices. When attempted it prints the error message "/dev/vda1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub-0.97-38.fc10.i386 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC10 in vm that supports virtio_blk devices 2. Install /boot on a virtio_blk device 3. execute $ grub-install /dev/vda1 Actual results: Error message displayed: /dev/vda1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive Expected results: Grub installs on virtio_blk device Additional info: Attached is a patch that worked for me to fix the issue.
