Package: grub-common Version: 1.99~20110106-1 Severity: normal Hi,
grub-probe selects for an unknown reason /dev/root as device for the root
filesystem. While /dev/root is a symlink to the real device, this
selection is useless and the kernel fails to boot.
# grub-probe --target=device /
/dev/root
# ls -l /dev/root
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 9. Jan 17:21 /dev/root -> sda4
# grep /root /boot/grub/grub.cfg
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37.tracetest+ root=/dev/root ro nosmp
radeon.agpmode=2
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37.tracetest+ root=/dev/root ro single
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37+ root=/dev/root ro nosmp radeon.agpmode=2
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37+ root=/dev/root ro single
I don't use an initrd.
Bye, Jörg.
