I've tested this using 5.3 grub-install with the changes to the regexps and it seems to work fine This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. Fixed in grub-0.97-13.4 1) prepared a machine using virtio drivers, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446232#c17 2) [root@dhcp71-208 ~]# rpm -q grub grub-0.97-13.2 [root@dhcp71-208 ~]# /sbin/grub-install /dev/vda1 /dev/vda1 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. [root@dhcp71-208 ~]# rpm -Uhv grub-0.97-13.4.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:grub ########################################### [100%] [root@dhcp71-208 ~]# rpm -q grub grub-0.97-13.4 [root@dhcp71-208 ~]# /sbin/grub-install /dev/vda1 Installation finished. No error reported. This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map. Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect, fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'. # this device map was generated by anaconda (hd0) /dev/vda [root@dhcp71-208 ~]# echo $? 0 Shutting down and then powering up the virtual system shows a screen with "GRUB GRUB GRUB ..." on it. The virtual guest doesn't boot. Is this OK to verify this bug and why the guest doesn't start after executing grub-install ? Can you try it with "grub-install /dev/vda" instead of "grub-install /dev/vda1" ? `grub-install /dev/vda' works fine for me on i386/kvm. Moving to verified. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
