Package: grub-common Version: 1.99-14g Severity: wishlist This is a re-hash of #542165, only in a more general fashion. To call things back to memory: I don't really boot from my /boot, which is on a dm-crypt LV, but I unison the hard-disk's /boot to an USB stick which I then boot from. The hard disk version of the /boot directory serves as a backup of the USB stick and allows me to update my system without having to plug in the USB stick.
In this setup, grub-probe fails since it cannot deduce from the crypted partition to the real device. Please give the possibility to directly point grub-probe to a device string while turning off its intelligence.
