Package: grub Version: 0.97-35 Followup-For: Bug #473889 Instead of submitting a new bug, I think I may have found the reason for the errors people are getting...
(2.6.24-4 was configured last, according to dpkg) Running postinst hook script /usr/sbin/update-grub. Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdc3. $ cat /proc/mounts | grep sdc3 /dev/sdc3 / xfs rw,ikeep,noquota 0 0 /dev/sdc3 /dev/.static/dev xfs rw,ikeep,noquota 0 0 $ apt-cache policy linux-image-2.6.24-1-686 linux-image-2.6.24-1-686: Installed: 2.6.24-5 Candidate: 2.6.24-5 My device map was very obsolete is not usable, (hd0) /dev/hda (hd1) /dev/sda (hd2) /dev/sdb /boot/grub/device.map (END) I'm not sure what is the problem but it was introduced in an upload after 0.97-32 as downgrading to that version corrects this issue for me. Now, after I removed the device map and upgraded to -35 version, I get, Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub grub-probe: error: Cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map' while it works with -32 regardless if device map was present or not. So maybe device map is not found, that grub should revert back to the old way of detecting devices? - Adam -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (5, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grub depends on: ii grub-common 1.96+20080228-1 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20080308-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand grub recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
