I'm trying to install GRUB2 on my system, but running grub-install hangs after a few seconds.

It seems like grub-install tries to open the file /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/efiemu??.o which does not exist.

Then he reads from fh 3 wich was closed before - and hangs.

Here is the relevant part of strace's output: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/125550/

Cheers,

can you post your partition scheme, relevant file systems used and the command you try to install with?

fstab:

UUID=1b38a3da-56f6-4492-93dd-02365c55a955 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1 # /dev/sda1
UUID=46ff2f4e-bdc7-47b3-811c-23fdda496d81 /home ext4 defaults 0 1 # /dev/sda4

UUID=f7862090-9c84-499b-b9d7-928635c0d3cf swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda2

I tried the following:

grub-install /dev/sda
grub-install '(hd0,1)'
grub-install '(hd0)'
grub-install --recheck /dev/sda

Forgot the '#'... Sorry.

can you try if grub2 1.96_20090729-1 fixes it for you?
Comment by Sebastian Billaudelle (sbillaudelle) - Friday, 04 September 2009, 22:23 GMT
Hm. No, unfortunately not. Same as above.

Hm. When using ´grub-install´ from the "grub"-packe, it fails, too.

Seems like this bug could be closed, huh? Sorry!

what's the concrete error message/output when you try it (apart from strace) ?

please post the output of 'grub-install /dev/sda --debug'. This may be related to  FS#17092
