Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98-1
Severity: normal
In my case, on a Dell Latitude 2100, the upgrade to grub-pc 1.98-1
incorrectly detected the boot disk as /dev/sdb instead of the correct
/dev/sda and put /dev/sdb in devices.map. The boot error was the same
as the original reporter. On this machine, sdb is an SD card reader.
The information below is the correct setup, which I got by booting a
grml USB stick, mounting, chrooting, aptitude reinstall grub-pc, and
dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc (I'm not sure that both reinstall and
reconfigure were necessary).
