Package: grub-common Version: 1.96+20080228-1 Severity: normal I thought at first this would be the same as #474343 (very similar backtrace), but refiling per request (and Robert probably was right, it's not quite identical). So I'm sorry if this is the third time you get some of this info (there's something new there too, search for **NEW**):

The command "grub-probe -t device fd0", as run by update-grub without
the `floppy' module installed, segfaults (I assume it would if I
waited long enough for the floppy probe to finish with the module
installed, but it takes ages that way).
I rebuilt grub-common with debug syms and -O0 and got a backtrace. The
crash occurs in the LVM code. The crash happens when calling
grub_lvm_scan_device("hd0,3").
