I have done the following, but no progress after a reboot: # grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/sdc2 /dev /sdc2 Due to a bug in xfs_freeze, the following command might produce a segmentation fault when /mnt/sdc2/boot/grub is not in an XFS filesystem. This error is harmle ss and can be ignored. xfs_freeze: specified file ["/mnt/sdc2/boot/grub"] is not on an XFS filesystem Installation finished. No error reported. This is the contents of the device map /mnt/sdc2/boot/grub/device.map. Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect, fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'. (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb (hd2) /dev/sdc # This is driving me mad!
