Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080413-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
As shown in the /proc/mounts bellow, my machine has 2 hard disks: one
SATA disk /dev/sda and one IDE disk /dev/hda.
While update-grub generates (hd1) for /dev/sda and (hd0) for /dev/hda
grub.cfg, grub will only work when I manually exchange (hd1) and (hd0)
in that file. And the names (hd#) is actually given by the output of
grub-probe.
So I have the conclusion that grub-probe and grub use different criteria
to assign numbers to hard disks, which results in conflict ordering of
(hd#) numbering for my machine.
My hardware: Intel E2140 on Gigabyte 945G (I don't remember very clear
whether it is 945G or 945). In the BIOS I have to firstly set boot
ordering of harddisk/cdrom/floppy then set ordering of the 2 disks, and
grub respects this setting (sees the first one listed here as hd0). At
the time of reporting the SATA disk (/dev/sda) is set as the first
one.
PS, the grub.cfg included here is one that I have made the exchange of
(hd0) and (hd1). Exchange them back and you get the generated version.
