[Bug 795858] grub2 install fails with "your embedding area is unusually small"

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795858 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795858#c1 --- Comment #1 from Michael Chang 2012-12-26 10:17:54 UTC --- Rihards, This is inherently grub2's design, it supports reading md array blocks but requiring that core.img be loaded and run. Usually it's put on sector gap between mbr and start of first partition. (So choose MBR as install location could fix your problem). Although legacy grub not support reading md array blocks, since RAID1 merely create duplicates (ie physical sector not mapped), it could support installing on RAID 1 using block-list still. I agree with that YaST should be awareness on this and do better propose to user. (For eg, propose location to mbr if using grub2 when raid is configured (no matter what raid level is).. and if user insist to install on a partition, showing warning it should use grub .. but only RAID 1 could be supported this way) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
