The issue is that, by default the grub of crownbay is like following: #### root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 rw quiet #### We should modify the "root (hd0,1)" to "root (hd0,0)" to make system boot up. The grub used by crownbay is 0.97, instead of version 1.98 on sugarbay and jasperforest. 14854 1 dvhart 2011-07-21 15:53:42 +0000 There seems to be some kind of issue surrounding the creation of the grub.cfg or menu.lst files, depending on which grub version is being used (0.97 for Crownbay as it is 32 bit iirc). It looks to me that the menu.lst should be generated using (hd0,0) instead of (hd0,1) but I'm not sure why hd0,1 would be used for the grub2 config, nor why this is only coming up now. Tom, I think you have more experience with the grub recipes, could you have a look? 14965 2 tom.zanussi 2011-07-25 06:50:13 +0000 Yes, it's strange that it just started happening, and also that it only affects crownbay. Will look into it. 15020 3 tom.zanussi 2011-07-26 11:20:28 +0000 I just tried this on sugarbay, which uses grub2, and saw the same problem, which is suprising and points to a grub non-version-specific problem or some change outside of grub that elicits a common problem or assumption in both versions. 15152 4 tom.zanussi 2011-08-02 12:32:05 +0000 The problem is that the wrong init-install.sh is getting pulled in and causing grub2 to be installed for crownbay. I'm also no longer seeing the problem on sugarbay, which may have actually been operator error. Will check in a fix for crownbay as soon as I finish testing. 15161 5 tom.zanussi 2011-08-02 15:31:57 +0000 Fixed by meta/intel commit: 724b13a74e068b7cd018cd8b2e18c2a762881d1d 15295 6 wenhuax.fan 2011-08-07 22:37:51 +0000 This issue not reappear in Yocto1.1 M3 RC3 20110806 building.
