I should mention that I am installing this from a Wheezy chroot environment, hence why the kernel is: 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.81-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Confirmed this problem only occurs when using ZFS. If I just use MD raid and hence use the standard version of grub then the problem does not occur.
This indicates that the problem is either with ZFS module or ZFS version of grub.
This problem seems to occur when installing Grub 2.02-beta2.9-ZOL11 on a new Jessie install located inside a Wheezy chroot.
Installing Grub 2.02-beta2.9-ZOL11 on a new Wheezy install located inside a Wheezy chroot, works.
I assume this has to do with Grub getting confused between the different kernel versions.
In Jessie (haven't tried Wheezy), Grub 2.02-beta2.9-ZOL11-7aa9f6 fails to install on machines where the root pool has more than a single drive. I have tested this single drive in the zpool (works), a mirrored pair (fails) & stripe pair of mirrors ie 4 drives (fails).
Single drive layout: sda1 -> ext2 sda2 -> zpool vdev
2 / 4 drive layout: sdX1 -> md0 -> ex2 sdX2 -> zpool vdev
From the console I see this:
Dmesg contains the following information:
The above may indicate the issue is with mdraid and grub, but given this does seem to present on my zfs machines, I thought I'd raise it here
