Hi,
I have a configuration with two HDDs.
First HDD = encrypted Windows (Truecrypt)
Second HDD = encrypted Ubuntu + encrypted NTFS partition
It worked to boot into ubuntu by selecting the second hdd in the bios boot-menue. To boot into ubuntu via the Truecrypt boot-menue does not work - but I don't care at the moment.
After some system upgrade (apt-get update && apt-get upgrade) I answered a question regarding grub the wrong way and now I am not anymore able to boot into ubuntu.
With supergrub-disk I am able to start ubuntu. But I cannot get grub2 installed on the mbr of the second hdd.
Configuration:
lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 29,8G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 100M 0 part └─sda2 8:2 0 29,7G 0 part sdb 8:16 0 465,8G 0 disk ├─sdb1 8:17 0 2M 0 part ├─sdb2 8:18 0 200M 0 part /boot ├─sdb3 8:19 0 152,4G 0 part │ └─sdb3_crypt (dm-0) 252:0 0 152,4G 0 crypt │ ├─lvm_crypt-swap_nb (dm-1) 252:1 0 4,9G 0 lvm [SWAP] │ └─lvm_crypt-root_nb (dm-2) 252:2 0 147,5G 0 lvm / └─sdb4 8:20 0 313,2G 0 part grub-setup /dev/sdb grub-setup: Warnung: This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible!. grub-setup: Warnung: Einbettung ist nicht möglich. GRUB kann in dieser Konfiguration nur mittels Blocklisten installiert werden. Blocklisten sind allerdings UNZUVERLÄSSIG und deren Verwendung wird daher nicht empfohlen.. grub-setup: Fehler: mit Blocklisten wird nicht fortgesetzt. I neither can identify the message I get nor find a solution for that.
And could you show "fdisk -l /dev/sdb"? GRUB2 believes this is GPT diks. If it is true, you need to either create BIOS Boot Partition to embed grub2 or use --force to continues with (not recommended) blocklist.
To recall: After basic installation of the whole environment it worked. But you might imagine to delete the second hdd and start from scratch is not the very best solution for me. I would appreciate any help.
