Just tested the script. Seems to work. Fine!

But: I get an error (which seems like an warning to me) after...


GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!

error: no such device: [UUID]
error: no such disk.
error: no suitable mode found.


... and before the Grub-Menu is shown (which clears the output).

System boots fine also with just the second disk and it may only be a
minor problem but it's just not "nice".

After digging around a bit it seems to come from
"/etc/grub.d/00_header" or to be more precise from the line

"/usr/sbin/grub-probe --target=device /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2"
(as the parameter for "prepare_grub_to_access_device").

It returns "vgroup-usr" (why?). With this parameter for
"prepare_grub_to_access_device" the following code (for grub.cfg) is
finally generated:


insmod raid
insmod mdraid
insmod lvm
insmod part_msdos
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(vgroup-usr)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set [UUID]


I have absolutely no idea what the intension of this part of the code
should be and why grub-probe returns "vgroup-usr" in the first
place... (but "set root='(group-usr)'" looks terribly wrong.)

I then removed these lines from grub.cfg and still got the same
error-lines. I then manually did:

% /usr/sbin/grub-install --no-floppy --modules="lvm raid" /dev/sd[ab]

And guess what. Sill the same error-lines. I am lost. Where does is
come from?

I have to admit. I looks like a problem in Grub, not FAI. But I still
hope you (or someone) has a clue what the problem could be. (This
error-lines are not shown with my version of 10-setup).

Regards and thx for your help!
