Hi, thank you for the 1.96+20081026-1 binary - I just extracted the grub-probe binary and tested it on the target system. The output is somewhat different now, but it still ends with a segfault:

Segmentation fault (full output and strace attached) Perhaps you could try to reproduce the bug by puting my partition dumps (attached) on some test partitions. Steve: If you still have the test setup, please try to dump my sda3 to your hda3, my sdb3 to your hdb3, my sdc3 to your hda4 and my sdd3 to your hdb4 and test again. best regards, Zrin
