Created attachment 528314 [details] Improved devmapper for grub2 patch Description of problem: The current version of GRUB2 has known issues with devmapper when using with loopback devices. It was reported upstream in this bug: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27737 The issue was fixed in upstream bzr repository in revision 3302. I cherry-picked the commit and tested it - works nicely. I'm attaching the patch for F16 branch of grub2.
You can find packages built with above patch applied here: http://goldmann.fedorapeople.org/bz/746394/
This patch wfm installing grub to a /dev/mapper device now bumped priority since patch is a blocker for me in ovirt-node

Created attachment 532016 [details] Improved devmapper for grub2 patch I've updated one more time RPMs with proposed fix for this issue. These builds also include patch for bug#746730. You can find them here: http://goldmann.fedorapeople.org/bz/746394/ I'm attaching also updated patch to apply directly to the repo.
Is there any chance of this getting into Fedora 16 relatively soon after release? Thanks
Possible dup of bug 742226 ? Joey, Marek, does grub2-1.99-12.fc16 work, it seems to include Improve-devmapper-support.patch ?
looks like grub2-1.99-12.fc16 does work for ovirt-node install marek, may want to retest now and see for your case
Yes, that looks good for me too. Closing and marking as duplicate of bug 742226. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 742226 ***
