Looks like grub-probefs is broken in current CVS: $ sudo grub-probefs -v / grub-probefs: info: changing current directory to /dev [...] grub-probefs: info: /dev/hda1 starts from 63 grub-probefs: info: opening the device hd0 grub-probefs: info: the size of hd0 is 156301488 grub-probefs: info: opening the device `/dev/hda' grub-probefs: info: DOS partition 0 starts from 63 grub-probefs: info: opening hd0,0 grub-probefs: info: the size of hd0 is 156301488 grub-probefs: error: unknown device
I've performed a binary search and found that it stopped working after: 2006-06-05 Yoshinori K. Okuji <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Count partitions from 1 instead of 0 in the string representation of partitions. Still use 0-based internally. I'm not sure if this applies to device.map. Note that grub-mkdevicemap both from before and after this commit generates the same output for me. My (hand-editted) file is: $ cat /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/hda I also tried with (hd1) and even (hd-1), with same result. -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.
