Title:
Jammy grub2 failed to detect 2nd virtio disk
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I am using qemu-system-x86_64 on Jammy to create a VM with two disks, both on the virtio bus.
When I enter the GRUB shell and use the "ls" command, only the first virtio disk is listed.
However, if I change the second disk to the SATA bus, GRUB can recognize the second disk.
Steps and result
Jammy: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TXjzbcXG5z/
This issue cannot be reproduced on Focal.
Focal: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MF2NKfsTSt/
The impact of this is that chainloading will fail.
/etc/grub.d/25_custom
menuentry "Attached-IDE-Disk" {
set root=(hd1)
insmod linux
insmod chain
chainloader +1
}
I'm not sure whether this is an issue with QEMU or GRUB. Thus, I filed
a bug on grub2 as well.
