Dear TrustedGRUB-users, I uploaded a new version of TrustedGRUB to sourceforge today. You can download version 1.1.4 here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/trustedgrub/ This version of TrustedGRUB contains a lot of patches of the original GRUB-0.97 and recent compile fixes. Also, Ext4-support was added as well as the limitations on partition sizes was fixed. For more details, see the Changelog below. In case you encounter any problems, please write a message to the list. Enjoy ;) Marcel Changelog TrustedGRUB v1.1.4: ============================= - Ext4 support - Applied the following GNU GRUB patches from Gentoo repository to TrustedGRUB: - 008_all_grub-0.97-AM_PROG_AS.patch - 110_all_grub-0.97-ptable-fix.patch - 550_all_grub-0.97-long-commandline.patch - 700_all_grub-0.97-grub-install_addsyncs.patch - 710_all_grub-0.97-grub-install_regexp.patch - 720_all_grub-0.97-grub-install_aoe_support.patch - 800_all_grub-0.97-crossreference_manpages.patch - 810_all_grub-0.97-ext3_256byte_inode.patch - 822_all_grub-0.97-geometry-26kernel.patch - 850_all_grub-0.97_ext4.patch - Fixed compile issue on Debian-based systems - (GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your binutils) - (__stack_chk_fail) - Fixed make check - Hardcoded stage2 start address in stage1.S - Added new VESA3 support (new commands vbeset, vbeprobe, vbematch) -- Sirrix AG security technologies -- http://www.sirrix.com Dipl.-Ing.

I think your right about the new grub. Ubuntu-9.10 uses Grub-1.97 beta and there is no menu.lst, stage1, stage2. I ended up using ubuntu-9.04 and TrustedGRub worked fine.

Since you're running Ubuntu 9.10, I think you are running Grub2, which is different from Grub: it does not have menu.lst, stage1 or stage2 files (among other things). Your boot partition does have to be 100MB, so that is still true, but I have a feeling this is not working because TrustedGrub is not compatible with Grub2. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know if there are plans to update TrustedGrub so that it is compatible with Grub2? thanks, Olga On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 11:53 PM, Hardeep Uppal <har...@cs...>wrote: > I am trying to figure out how to partition my hard disk so that TrsutedGrub > would run. > I read some place that "/boot" needs to be a separate partition and that > its size should be < 100MB. > > I partitioned my disk such that /dev/sda1 was "/boot" partition with size > 98MB and /dev/sda2 was "/" partition. > But TrustedGrub still could not find where /boot/grub/stage1 file was. > > After installing TrustedGrub and running grub, I ran these commands as > mentioned by the installation guide: > > >root (hd0,0) > >setup (hd0) > Checking if /boot/grub/stage1 file exist....no > Error 15: > > I had copied stage1/stage1 and stage2/stage2 file to /boot/grub. > Not sure what I am doing wrong here.

I am trying to figure out how to partition my hard disk so that TrsutedGrub would run. I read some place that "/boot" needs to be a separate partition and that its size should be < 100MB. I partitioned my disk such that /dev/sda1 was "/boot" partition with size 98MB and /dev/sda2 was "/" partition. But TrustedGrub still could not find where /boot/grub/stage1 file was. After installing TrustedGrub and running grub, I ran these commands as mentioned by the installation guide: >root (hd0,0) >setup (hd0) Checking if /boot/grub/stage1 file exist....no Error 15: I had copied stage1/stage1 and stage2/stage2 file to /boot/grub. Not sure what I am doing wrong here. I would appreciate any help Thanks, Hardeep |

Hardeep, I installed TrustedGrub on Ubuntu-9.04 and the build_tgrub.sh script gave me a lot of errors similar to yours. I ended up opening the script in the editor and just copying commands out of and running then manually. Everything worked fine then. I know that's not a good way of fixing it, but I wanted to share my experiences with the list. thanks, Olga On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 3:10 PM, Hardeep Uppal <har...@cs...>wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to compile TrustedGrub my Dell Lalitude e5400 running > unbuntu-9.10 32-bit. > My laptop has a Broadcom 1.2 TPM. > > When i run ./build_tgrub i am getting this error: > configure: error: GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your > binutils > > ettm2009@ettm2009:~/Desktop/ > tpm/TrustedGRUB-1.1.3/TrustedGRUB-1.1.3$ ./configure > checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c > checking whether build environment is sane... yes > checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p > checking for gawk... no > checking for mawk... mawk > checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes > checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu > checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu > checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no > checking for gcc... gcc > checking for gcc...

Hi Marcel,
here is the output of fdisk:

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38770 cylinders

I am working on a test machine, but I would rather not get rid of swap
partition if there is another way of fixing this.
thanks so much!

Hi Olga, it seems to me, that GRUB can't read from your third partition. Which file system have you formatted on /dev/sda3? And how big is your SWAP-partition?

Hello everyone, I have installed TrustedGrub last week, and I am now trying to verify a file saved in / partition. My root partition is /dev/sda3, this is what I put in the check.file: [...hash...] (hd0,0)/testfile [...hash...] (hd0,0)/testfile2 [...hash...] (hd0,2)/testfile.root (this file is saved in / - no additional directories. I tried putting it in another directory on the root partition, but got the same error below) When I boot, the first two files, which are saved in /boot/ (or /dev/sda1) partition are verified without any problems. Now when I get to the last file (saved in the root partition), I get the following error: Cmdl:[...hash...]->PCR[12] checkfile (hd0,0)/check.file Chkf:[...hash...]->PCR[13] (hd0,0)/testfile Chkf:[...hash...]->PCR[13] (hd0,0)/testfile2 Chkf:[4c2ff5 -= Integrity Error! =- ]->PCR[13] (hd0,2)/testfile.root tGrub: Data Integrity not guaranteed, 1 problem(s) occured tGrub: Press ESC to stop booting or any other key to continue... I continue booting, and this is the error message I get: Error 2: Bad file or directory type I thought that maybe I got the partition number wrong and tried (hd0,1). Then I got the "Can't mount partition error", which is not surprising because that's swap space. I am not sure if I am getting the paths wrong or the root partition is not mounted yet... Any help is greatly appreciated! thanks, Olga |

I think Vim is one of few editors which implicitly adds newline at the end last line (if it is not empty). It does this even if you just open and write file back.

I used Vim, so that's probably what happened! I just found another way of figuring out what characters exactly are in the file: hexdump -C check.file There were two 0A characters at the end - hence two newlines. 2009/9/18 Witold Baryluk <ba...@sm...> > Dnia 2009-09-18, pią o godzinie 11:04 -0400, Olga Gelbart pisze: > > Hi Marcel! > > That worked! my system boots fine now.

Hi Marcel! That worked! my system boots fine now. I guess when I tried to make sure there is a newline character at the end of the line, I actually added an extra line! thank you so much for your help!

Hi Olga, I found the problem, you had one empty line too much. I think my description of the checkfile format is bad ;) What I meant is that - after you place your last entry in that file - you hit "enter" once, such that a new line begins, not that an empty line is in that file... Please try this modified check.file... Thanks, Marcel Olga Gelbart schrieb: > hi Marcel. > Here is the file check.file I was using.

Hi Ronald,
I was just about to post that I've just tried Marcel's solution and I get
the same error as you:
Cmdl: [....]->PCR[12] checkfile (hd0,0)/check.file
Chkf: [....]->PCR[13] (hd0,0)/testfile
^^^^ the hash here is indeed the same as generated by sha1sum
tGrub: Opening checkfile (h0,0)/check.file
tGrub error: File list not in correct format
check.file contains only one line and I definitely made sure that there is
only one space between the hash and file file name. I also made sure that
there is a newline at the end of the line. Not sure why it's giving me the
incorrect format error.

Hi, Unfortunately, I've got the same error as Olga. I've also tried the solution of Marcel, but this does not work :-( Booting my machine, I always get the following error: "tGRUB error: File list not in correct format". But it is, I guess... I've used sha1sum to compute the hash value, and I've also included the newline... Also, I use "checkfile (hd0,0)/boot/check.file (without "/boot", the file is not found). Might there be another solution? I'm quite stuck here.. Thanks a lot in advance, Ronald |

Hello, I have just installed TrustedGrub 1.1.3 on my Ubuntu 9.04 Dell R300 box. My drive is partitioned as follows: /dev/sda1 /boot (size 100M) /dev/sda2 swap /dev/sda3 / Just to test checkfile, I placed a small text file called "testfile" in /boot. /boot also has the file "check.file" in it, which contains the following: 29f9eafa368ab556d715a284e30fb5ad8cc8165 (hd0,0)/boot/testfile This is what menu.lst contains: title TrustedGrub root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic ro quiet splash initrd /initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic checkfile (hd0,0)/boot/check.file quiet When I boot in TrustedGrub, I get the following error (omitting hashes): Cmdl:[...hash here...]->PCR[12] root (hd0,0) Cmdl:[...hash here...]->PCR[12] kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic ro quiet splash File:[...hash here...]->PCR[14] /vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic Cmdl:[...hash here...]->PCR[12] initrd /initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic File:[...hash here...]->PCR[14] /initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic Cmdl:[...hash here...]->PCR[12] checkfile (hd0,0)/boot/check.file tGrub: Opening checkfile (hd0,0)/boot/check.file tGrub error: Could not open checkfile (error code 0) Booting has to be stopped Press any key... I thought maybe I got the paths wrong, so I played around with that. I would then get a different error: that the file list is not in correct format (i.e. <hash><space><Grub format file name><newline>) I would really appreciate any help on fixing this error. thanks in advance, Olga |

Yes, since GRUB doesn't know the device names of Linux... so its just (hd0) for the first disk, (hd1) for the second etc. Cheers, Marcel -- Sirrix AG security technologies - http://www.sirrix.com Dipl.-Ing.

Actually, SATA works fine with TrustedGRUB, since the current BIOS implementations all support some kind of legacy mode... We have TrustedGRUB running on a huge variety of SATA-based systems without a problem. The only issue that might occur, if your boot partition is too big. So I'd suggest to create a small boot partition (about 100MB or so) where to install TrustedGRUB into. Then it should work fine ;) Good luck ;) Marcel -- Sirrix AG security technologies - http://www.sirrix.com Dipl.-Ing. Marcel Selhorst eMail: m.s...@si...

Hello, I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I am trying to install TrustedGrub 1.1.3 (on Ubuntu 9.04) and have noticed the following warning in the README file: "SATA and Floppy support is currently not included due to the limitation of stage1" I was wondering if there are any plans to add SATA support in the future. thanks, Olga |
