Subject: grub-install --disk-module option is referenced in the help, but no longer works

Date: Thu, 1 May 2014 21:07:48 +0200

Package: grub2-common
Version: 2.02~beta2-9
Severity: normal

Hi,

grub-install: --disk-module: (PROGRAM ERROR) Option should have been recognized!?

However, the help clearly states it's supported, and it used to work with
earlier versions:

grub-install --help                                                                                                                          :(
Usage: grub-install [OPTION...] [OPTION] [INSTALL_DEVICE]
Install GRUB on your drive.
[...]
      --disk-module=MODULE   disk module to use (biosdisk or native). This
                             option is only available on BIOS target.
[...]

I have a box that only boots if I use grub-install --disk-module=ahci. I
dare not reboot it with the new grub version because if it doesn't boot, it
takes quite long to fix.

Andras

Closes: 746596
Changes:
 grub2 (2.02~beta2-24) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ]
   * Fix handling of --disk-module option (cherry-pick from fa335308).
     (Closes: #746596, LP: #1309735)
   * Fix double-free of LV names for mdraid (cherry-pick from fc535b32).
     (LP: #1330963)
 .
   [ dann frazier ]
   * Build image tarball on arm64
   * Only include linuxefi module in images for amd64. This module doesn't
     exist on other platforms like arm64, where GRUB chainloads to the kernel
     EFI stub.
 .
   [ Paulo Flabiano Smorigo ]
   * powerpc: Add a flag to avoid unnecessary optimizations (like vsx)
     (LP: #1459706).
