I think I found such an incompatibility. I backported and compiled kfreebsd-9: ii kfreebsd-image-9.0-0-amd64 9.0~svn225873-1 kernel of FreeBSD 9.0 image and I am running it with an up to date Wheezy user land, hence libgeom1 has: # dpkg -l | grep "libgeom" ii libgeom0 8.1-5 FreeBSD GEOM library ii libgeom1 8.2+ds1-4 FreeBSD GEOM library This is the same version as Sid has, right now. This seems to cause an ABI incompatibility between libgeom and kfreebsd-9. Hence, update-grub fails. Some debugging output is on [1] (warning: 1.7M log). The actual problem seems to be grub-probe here which causes a lot of noise: # /usr/sbin/grub-probe --device /dev/da15s1 --target=fs_uuid [lots of similar messages stripped] Unexpected XML: name=stripesize data="0" Unexpected XML: name=stripeoffset data="131072" Unexpected XML: name=stripesize data="0" Unexpected XML: name=stripeoffset data="131072" f5cf45616b5c3c2b The problem seems minor, the file system uid appears nonetheless but confuses the grub scripts. Hence I tried wrapping "grub-probe" by: #! /bin/sh /usr/sbin/grub-probe.real $@ | tail -n1 As soon as I did, grub works fine again and generates a working grub.conf. Apparently libgeom fails to parse the output of "sysctl -b kern.geom.confxml" (output in [2]).
