I have three boxes running testing. They all exhibit the same problem,
and have been doing so for a couple of months now.
They're all set up in much the same way:
- - root partition is a primary partition using ext3, and is small (~ 500M)
- - /home, /usr and /var are all LVM partitions, using XFS
On boot, there's a brief flash of a reverse-video message which I
think says "Welcome to grub", but it goes by so fast that it's hard to
be certain. It's followed by a grub screen giving details on how to
edit things, and this is a normal PC white-on-black. It hangs here for
some time (10? 20? seconds), then the "error: no such disk" message
appears. After a few more seconds, the proper grub boot screen appears
(with the correct background image), and all is normal from then on
and the system can be booted on any of the selections.
