Subject: loop device doesn't supported by grub-install
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 10:27:12 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <496EE550.4080807@mns.spb.ru> (raw)
Hi all!
I tried to install grub2 on the image mounted via loop device
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-grub/2008-12/msg00009.html).
And it turned out to be impossible with standard grub-install utility.
The reason is
grub-probe error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/loop2
This error occurs then grub tries to define drive by device name parsing. See file: biosdisk.c function: get_os_disk.
Only scsi and ide disks supported by this function.
My problem resolved by using low-level utilities grub-mkimage and grub-setup.
