I believe the bootloader (GRUB2) is not being setup correctly by mondorestore. I've attached mondorestore.log, and I have 3 areas of concern: 1. {{{ INFO: Found Device /dev/vda has a MBR partition type partition table format type on /dev/vda DBG2: [Main] ../src/mondorestore/mondo-prep.c->partition_device#1539: partition_device('/dev/vda', 1, 0, 'xfs', 1048576) --- starting DBG2: [Main] ../src/mondorestore/mondo-prep.c->partition_device#1554: Partitioning device /dev/vda1 (1024 MB) INFO: Found Device /dev/vda has a MBR partition type partition table format type on /dev/vda DBG1: [Main] ../src/mondorestore/mondo-prep.c->partition_device#1616: Doing the new all-in-one fdisk thing DBG1: [Main] ../src/mondorestore/mondo-prep.c->partition_device#1617: output = 'n p 1 +1048576K ' DBG1: [Main] ../src/mondorestore/mondo-prep.c->partition_device#1624: last line = p DBG1: [Main] ../src/mondorestore/mondo-prep.c->partition_device#1625: Failed to create partition 1 on /dev/vda; sending 'Enter'... }}} What would cause this? 2. {{{ DBG2: [Main] ../src/mondorestore/mondo-rstr-tools.c->run_grub#1476: mr-grub /dev/vda /tmp/mountlist.txt Now I'll use grub-install Launching: chroot /mnt/RESTORING grub-install /dev/vda chroot: can't execute 'grub-install': No such file or directory grub-install returned 127 Now I'll use grub2-install Installing for i386-pc platform. grub2-install: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/vda1. Check your device.map. grub2-install returned 1 }}} The device.map file has ""dev/vda"". I’ve also tried manually changing device.map to “/dev/vda1”, but I still see the same error. Any ideas why this might be occurring? 3. {{{ Trying a hack Checking usr/lib/grub/i386-pc Cannot find BOOTPATHNAME .............Cool. device (hd0) /dev/vda root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) quit chroot: can't execute 'grub': No such file or directory Hack returned res=0 }}} This is a bug in try_grub_hack() of mr-grub. If grub can't be found, the function returns a false positive. ",defect,assigned,high,3.3.0,mondo,3.2.2,major,,,
