Thanks, am building it now.
Even after scanning through /usr/share/doc/grub-pc including the
changelog and reading the last few months of the grub-devel mailing list
didn't tell me this. Should there be any manual pages or a README that
lists the executables and what they do?
Well yes, they should. But they aren't :-)
Truly we need some help in writing documentation as you can see.
(-:
I suspect that the problem was actually a flaky cd-rw drive in /dev/hdc
which caused the open("/dev/hdc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) call in
grub-mkdevicemap to hang.
Running
grub-mkdevicemap -v
as suggested by grub-mkdevicemap --help for verbose output didn't
actually seem to produce any more output - should it have output a list
of device files it was opening and whether it was successful in opening
them?
If a minimal man page for grub-mkdevicemap could be created and
grub-mkdevicemap -v returns output of what it is doing, then by all
means close off the bug report.
Thanks again for the help,
Arthur.
