[Bug 484102] Re: Grub2 doesn't chainload truecrypt loader correctly

[Attila Lendvai]

FYI, grub2tc has been fixed to work with newer ruby versions, but when i
try to boot the generated multiboot kernel  i get this error:

"No physical memory is available at the location required for the
windows boot manager. The system cannot continue."

the iso booting method in my previous comment works fine though. you can
use 'sudo blkid' to find the UUID of your root partition.

Title:
  Grub2 doesn't chainload truecrypt loader correctly

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  I am working on a dual-boot system with one hard disk.
  sda1 = /boot
  sda2 = Windows Vista Ultima encrypted with TrueCrypt System Encryption
  sda3 = Ubuntu 9.10 encrypted lvm

  The grub2 entry for windows is created by the file 50_windows in the
  "/etc/grub.d" directory:

  #! /bin/sh -e
  echo "Adding Windows Vista entry" >&2
   cat << EOF
  menuentry "Windows Vista" {
  	set root=(hd0,2)
  	parttool (hd0,2) boot+
  	chainloader (hd0,1)/truecrypt.mbr
  }
  EOF

  Choosing this entry in the grub2 menu the Truecrypt loader only shows the following message: 
  "TrueCrypt Boot Loader
  Load damaged! Use Rescue Disk: Repair > Options > Restore Truecrypt Boot Loader"
  But this would install the Bootloader into the MBR, where grub2 shall be. The TrueCrypt Loader is in /boot/truecrypt.mbr
  Booting Ubuntu works without problems.

  With grub-legacy the chainloading worked.

  The menu.lst:
  title		Windows Vista
  rootnoverify	(hd0,1)
  savedefault
  makeactive
  chainloader	(hd0,0)/truecrypt.mbr

  My Grub2 version: 1.97~beta4
