Given lack of feedback and that the fix was credible, closing the bug.

I found on out-of-bounds access which may give the effects you describe. Please try latest trunk.

What does
grub-fstest /dev/sdaN ls -- -l /boot/grub/i386-pc
say? Looking at code I see one case when it may fail: dirent split across bnodes. If that's the case this command would show corrupted names.

What is your GRUB version? Sounds like one of the JFS bugs I've already fixed in trunk.

Hi,

When installing grub2 on a jfs (IBM Journaling File System) partition, it fails to boot and gives the following error messages:


error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/all_video.mod' not found.
Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/relocator.mod' not found.
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/relocator.mod' not found.

Press any key to continue ...
+verbatim+

I am using the Arch GNU/Linux distribution. This does not happen if another filesystem is used.
