Hi again, I tried to fix this problem which turned out to eat quite a bit of my time.
Anyway, to record what I found out so far: + debcheckout fails, I used bzr checkout sftp://bzr.debian.org/bzr/pkg-grub/trunk/grub bzr checkout on the Vcs-Bzr: line from debian/control fails like this: bzr: ERROR: Connection error: curl connection error (server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none) on https://alioth.debian.org/anonscm/bzr/pkg-grub/trunk/grub/ + Building takes forever and has no debugging information. For my build, I ended up running ./autogen.sh ./configure make -j5 grub-probe grub_probe_CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O0" grub_probe_LDFLAGS="-g" There is probably a better way, but this way I got a grub-probe executable. sudo ./grub-probe --target=fs --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --device /dev/md0 reproduces the error. Turned out that the test in fs/ext2.c, line 548, fails: if (grub_le_to_cpu16 (data->sblock.magic) != EXT2_MAGIC) { grub_error (GRUB_ERR_BAD_FS, "not an ext2 filesystem"); Looking at data->sblock in gdb shows it is all zero. Reading the ChangeLog I noticed there were some changes to kern/disk.c. So I tried my luck with bzr revert -rtag:1.98~20100115-1 kern/disk.c make grub-probe grub_probe_CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O0" grub_probe_LDFLAGS="-g" and it is working again now. I am now looking at the changes to disk.c but if I fail to find the problem in the next hour, somebody else will have to pick up here. Good luck!
