amd64 stable

[Comment 2 Christoph Löhr 2014-09-09 19:29:31 UTC]

Defenetly unstable, 

breaks cryptsetup and lvm and also zfs installations on ~amd64

in the making, first 12 Systems need a downgrade. Grub will not find any devices, if they're not plain disk devices.

This may be bug 522428. Please hold on stabilization for x86 until this is resolved.

[Comment 6 Mike Gilbert 2014-09-10 21:02:59 UTC]

Ok, I think we are ready to resume here.

New target is sys-boot/grub-2.02_beta2-r2. This should be stabilized ASAP on amd64.

...and just tried sys-boot/grub-2.02_beta2-r2, it fails to build with the same symptoms.

(sys-boot/grub-2.00_p5107-r2:2 builds and works just fine on this server.)

File a new bug. If it is a real problem, I will have it block this bug.

+  24 Sep 2014; Mike Gilbert <[e-mail]> grub-2.02_beta2-r2.ebuild:
+  Stable on amd64, bug 522314.

[Comment 14 Gerold Schellstede 2014-09-30 08:32:35 UTC]

With grub-2.02_beta2 and also with grub-2.02_beta2-r2 updating grub on my efi-partition does not work:

I use "grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi --boot-directory=/boot/efi/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB --recheck" to update (or install a new) grub on my Efi-Partition (sda1 with Fat). Up to version 2.00_p5107-r2 everything works well. But grub-2.02_beta2 and also grub-2.02_beta2-r2 says me that they found no EFI-partition. If I reemerge than the old 2.00_p5107-r2 it works again.

The efi-partiton is mountet into /boot/efi and the grub is installed into the "Efi-Folder" of the "Efi-Partition"

Best regards

File a new bug. Leaving a comment on this bug after is pointless.
