Description Victor Ion Munteanu 2013-01-02 11:05:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
Grub fails to load /etc/locale.conf and gives an error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Every time i boot.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install fedora but make sure you encrypt the hdd
2. Boot and grub can not locate locale.conf (encrypted root, password not entered yet)
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:
I get this error before grub loads and after i hit enter on the boot option (does the kernel try to load locale.conf before I get to input the password?)

Please attach a the exact error message with the context - for example a photo.

Please also attach your grub.cfg.

Comment 3 Victor Ion Munteanu 2013-01-05 11:58:10 UTC 
Just before grub starts (graphical) I get:

Welcome to GRUB!

error: file `/grub2/locale/en.mo.gz` not found.

And then, after I make my selection:

dracut-cmdline[98]:/etc/locale.conf: line 1: locale.LANG= .. not found

Which is ok because since the hdd is encrypted (and I have not entered the password i can not access it).

I can make a video if you really want.

Comment 5 Mads Kiilerich 2013-01-07 21:38:20 UTC 
Brian, the en.mo.gz error is not the primary error reported here, so I don't think the duplication is correct.

Dracut complains on a file dracut created - reassigning to dracut.
Comment 6 Victor Ion Munteanu 2013-01-08 21:11:33 UTC 
Well, seems I reported 2 bugs and for one (the en.mo.gz error) there already is a thread.

What's left is the Dracut one.
Comment 7 Harald Hoyer 2013-01-09 11:44:10 UTC 
Bug is fixed in recent dracut versions.
