Unable to install the bootloader

Unable to install the bootloader

Hi!

Since Sunday I'm trying to provide you with an updated version of the apache 2.4 patch. Usually, the build takes ~ 3h on my machine, so I can perform one compilation per day, after work.

In recent days, I had trouble to create a running image, even from the current next. Even if the build is executed successfully, the image will not install on my virtual box machine with the error message "Unable to install the bootloader" (after it successfully partitioned the virtual hdd and copied the files).

Is this a known problem? Am I doing something wrong?

Best regards,
Wolfgang

Hi,

have the same Problem, but with Grub 2.02 (without beta), the installer 
works.
A patch is on Patchwork.

Best,
Marcel

Hi,

this is actually not a bug in GRUB.

It is that the kernel denied to declare some memory as writable and
executable at the same time.

It is fixed in this commit:

http://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commitdiff;h=5e00841da0f8a9350827a73719ca04295dbb719f

So rebuilding next will fix it without updating GRUB.

Best,
-Michael
