According to your device.map you even have /dev/hda. Maybe your BIOS is loading grub2 from hda and that grub2 uses the /boot/grub from sdb. I can only image that the embed core.img and /boot/grub is out of sync but that never happens if you grub-install to the right device. -- Felix Zielcke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
