FATDOG 810 issue with GRUB2 utils

[Clarity]

Trying to use GRUB2 utilities and I get the following:

Code: Select all

# grub-install --modules=part_gpt /dev/sdd
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of `aufs'.
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `aufs'.

Resolution??

Installing for i386-pc platform.

If you are attempting to install on an i386 32bit system, that would be the problem. Fatdog 810 is 64 bit OS, so won't install on that hardware.

Please also note that this thread is not posted in the correct forum section, Fatdog has its own section within the forum.

No, I am not trying to do anything associated with any 32bit in use of FD 810.

I am using what GSlapt presents for GRUB2 in FD810, thus no add'l stuff.

These messages should be able to be verified on your end. I could be missing something you are saying, but:

• Are you having the same problem?
• Are you suggesting some "parm" is required?

Thanks

Code: Select all

# mount /dev/sdd /mnt/data
# grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/data /dev/sdd

You still cannot use grub-mkconfig though.
You have to create /boot/grub/grub.cfg yourself.
