Package: grub
Version: 0.97-27
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
When I do "update-grub", it fails.
For example, in the past, I had this:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-6-686
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-686
And If I do "update-grub" :
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-6-686
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-686
So, "root (hd0,0)" is replaced by "root (hd1,0)". To fix the problem, I have
to, manually, replace "(hd1,0)" by "(hd0,0)".
This problem happens on some machines that run debian etch and debian lenny/sid.

device.map is used to map system devices to GRUB devices. Simply edit that
file as:
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/hda
to archieve the desired effect. Or otherwise upgrade to grub2 which uses UUIDs
and doesn't have this problem.
