Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98-1 Hello,
congratulations to Albin (#542425), but the problem is still valid for me. I am running Debian testing with everything up to date (eccept the kernel, which i cannot use due to this bug). It all started a few days ago after an apt-get update. Since that time, grub shows no background-picture on boot (which is no problem for me) and update-grub doesnt work: “# update-grub /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).” Yes, surely it is. Look here: “# cat /proc/mounts rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 none /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 none /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 none /dev devtmpfs rw,relatime,size=508048k,nr_inodes=127012,mode=755 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 0 0 /dev/mapper/Taschenrechner-root / ext3 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 tmpfs /lib/init/rw tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 rw,relatime,errors=continue 0 0 /dev/dm-3 /home ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 fusectl /sys/fs/fuse/connections fusectl rw,relatime 0 0” I ran # apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 and got (german environment): “(Lese Datenbank ... 172972 Dateien und Verzeichnisse sind derzeit installiert.) Entferne linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 ... Running postrm hook script /usr/sbin/update-grub. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).

And for whatever reason /dev/hda has moved to /dev/sda on my system. What i tried but didnt help is: 1 # echo change > /sys/block/dm-X/uevent (with all dm-[0-3]) 2 I manually edited /boot/grub/device.map to contain sda instead of hda and did # grub-setup --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map /dev/sda It both made no difference. Please tell me, how to provide more details. Best Regards Miche PS: Is there a way to get grub2 running or should i return back to good old grub “legacy” which never hurted me and is easily configurable? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
