Package: grub
Version: 0.97-47
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/update-grub
Hi
during some updates, I ended up with device.map not containing correct
mappings. In this situation update-grub silently fails without giving
any notice what is wrong. From tracing this script, I found it ends with
following commands:
+ test -e /boot/grub/device.map
+ GRUB_LEGACY_0_BASED_PARTITIONS=1 grub-probe
--device-map=/boot/grub/device.map -t drive -d /dev/hda1
+ grub_root_device=
The problem was that I did not have mapping for hda in device.map (it
used to be hde in older kernel versions). I think update-grub should at
least tell that something is wrong and not silently fail.
