Hi list,
Did an upgrade on my computer running Wheezy today. grub-pc was one of the packages that needed to be updated. However, it failed with a segfault during the configuration.
Syslog has this to say:Jun 20 20:34:59 argon kernel: [ 8265.445561] grub-probe[31617]: segfault at 14 ip 08077f0a sp bfd40b00 error 4 in grub-probe[8048000+3d000]
Tried to uninstall and reinstall grub2 + grub-pc (stupid, now I don't dare to reboot the computer), but no dice - grub2 refuses to configure because of grub-pc, grub-pc still segfaults.
Tried to run grub-install (with a --debug option):<snip>+ /usr/sbin/grub-probe --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --target=device /boot/grubSegmentation fault
+ grub_device=+ exit 1root@argon:/#</snip>
Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thanks.

Any side effects? Is the computer bootable? If you can't boot from your
own GRUB, you could use any livecd rescue disk and boot from there unless
it's a remote system.
If the segfault it's still reproducible, I would report it.

Segfault on grub update
Thanks for the reply.
I rebooted, and as expected, grub threw up an error - "error: symbol not found: 'grub_divmod64_full' "
Had a bit of free time, and wiped the installation clean and installed Squeeze on it. Changed the repositories over to "testing", then updated everything to Wheezy again. Same segfault and error as previously.
Any ideas?

Segfault on grub update
Hi,
Thanks for the link. I've looked at it, but it doesn't seem to apply to me - the poster in question is running LVM, whereas mine is a straight-up ext4 partition on a single HDD (I have 2 md arrays, but those are for data storage only).
In any case, I did try a dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc, but the same segfault still came up. It was after the dpkg-reconfigure failed that I tried to manually trigger the grub-update / grub-install on my own, but those didn't work too...

How about downgrading grub?

Wow :-(
And does "upgrade-grub" succeed?
I would try to purge and reinstall grub-pc. If after that it still fails,
I'd go for a bug report.
