Hi, I rebuilt grub2 from Debian unstable sources with the following
patch applied and have no longer had to manually remove the "search"
line in my grub.gfg in order to boot on a hard disk with /boot partition
visible to the BIOS where the entire disk is bigger than what the BIOS
recognises.
Hi, looking at a fragment of commands/search.c:
else
{
/* type is SEARCH_FS_UUID or SEARCH_LABEL */
grub_device_t dev;
grub_fs_t fs;
int (*compare_fn) (const char *, const char *);
char *quid;
/* grub_printf added for debugging */

It would be good to know *what* is leading to the "error: no such device".
Me too.

Hi, I had an update-grub fail only reporting "exiting with value 1".
I eventually found the problem that /boot/grub/device.map was
inaccurate, due to having to use different device names as I sometimes
have usb drives plugged in when booting which can use the /dev/sda name
like the SCSI disk.
Hi, someone might like to look at
http://www.linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/2009010500435NWRL and follow
the links to comments, the article on phoronix and see if there is any
discussion on the phoronix forums.

I tried it and didn't exactly work.
the grub entry you are looking for is:
