Did you have a problem with grub saying there were no valid file systems found?

I ran into that and couldn't install grub. Even using a grub rescue cd failed to load up. I was building a fresh install after making changes to my partition scheme so I had fresh partitions with new ext4 file systems on them.

I archived /mnt/lfs and did a quick install of an older slackware and did the partitions over and created new file systems with the older tools and extracted the lfs archive and I was good to go.

A bit of a rodeo but I'm back in business. From what I gather after reading a bit of google searches grub looks these newer file systems and sees features it doesn't recognize so it fails bummer. I'm hoping for a new grub release, this one could be a deal breaker for those using newer tools to create a new file system.

I actually tried building grub from git but I was missing dependencies and wasn't sure where to get them.
