Bug#979602: grub2: /boot/grub/i386-pc/ is left empty

[Val Lorentz]

Package: grub2
Version: 2.04-12


Dear maintainers,


I just tried to install a Bullseye system with these commands:

  debootstrap bullseye .
  mount --bind /dev dev
  mount --bind /proc proc
  mount --bind /sys sys
  chroot .

Then, inside the chroot:

  apt install grub2
  grub-install /dev/sdd
  update-grub


Then unmounting everything and booting on the disk just created, I get this:

  file /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod not found

and /boot/grub/i386-pc/ is indeed empty.


Running the exact same commands with "buster" instead of "bullseye" on
the first line causes /boot/grub/i386-pc/ to be non-empty.


In both cases, the whole filesystem is on a single LVM logical volume on
/dev/sdd1 (no separate partition for /boot)
