Unfortunately this means that I may have to update grub with each release (or kernel?) upgrade on a couple of servers (~ 1000), automatically choosing the proper boot device, which is normally handled for me by FAI at install time and may be cumbersome eg. for software RAIDs.This should be remembered by debconf (grub-pc/install_devices variable). I'm not sure whether there's a good way to get that information outside of a package maintainer script, though.
'debconf-get-selections | grep grub-pc/install_devices' ?Unfortunately this is not/set used by FAI, at least not by the scripts we use which may not be up to date.
Please close this bug. Sorry for the inconvenience.Well, if this is a widespread problem then I think grub-pc must reinstall when the package is upgraded from a version has this bug. We cannot have upgrades resulting in an unbootable system. Were these systems initially installed with squeeze, or an earlier version?
According to the FAI logs this machine has been (re)installed with Squeeze roughly a year ago. The installed grub version was 1.98+20100804-14+squeeze1.
I have only observed the problem on this particular box, but I did not do many Wheezy upgrades until now.
Cheers,
Christopher
