Title: About grub2 installation
Post by: destroyedlolo on December 26, 2022, 01:09:21 PM

Hello,

I'm trying to install Grub2 on a fresh new install, but it's turning to be a nightmare.

• First of all, the dependency with liblvm2 is missing but it's old well known issue
• after correcting, grub-install is complaining because it can't find /mnt/sda2/boot/grub/i386-pc

... because it doesn't exists  :-[
[/list]

I did the same installation some months back, with a package named "grub2" and not grub2-multi and, as soon as I installed liblvm2, it worked perfectly and

Code: [Select]

/mnt/sda2/boot/grub$ ls
fonts/    grub.cfg  grubenv   i386-pc/  locale/   themes/

where as on the new system there is nothing.

So ... what is the correct way to install grub2 ?

Thanks

Laurent

Did you use “—target=i386-pc”?

No, only --root-directory and my disk device.

[edit]after rethinking of it, I did the install of the other system from another Linux machine as I did already faced this issue with TCL one [/edit]

I had a look on several tutorials and did the same on one of my Gentoo box ... and grub-install is working out of the box.
So, I'm wondering if the problem is not with this x86 TCL package ??

Hi destroyedlolo
Try using  “—target=i386-pc”  like juanito did here:
