Public bug reported:
After most recent update update-grub finally completes. When I run it I
see the following:
rol...@logikaldesktop:~$ sudo update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-3-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-3-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Found FreeDOS on /dev/sdb1
done
The problem is it creates the following entry:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry "FreeDOS (on /dev/sdb1)" {
set root=(hd1,1)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 3137-16f9
drivemap -s (hd0) ${root}
chainloader +1
}
### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
Neither Grub nor Karmic are seeing the SATA drives in the same order as
the BIOS. FreeDOS was installed on the first hard drive, which is a
SATA 250. The other two hard drives are SATA 1TB. Both grub and Karmic
are seeing the drives as 1TB, 250, 1TB. Sorry, I don't have a different
sized SATA to install so we can easily identify which drive Grub/Karmic
are seeing first.
The order is completely consistent.
As a result of this discombobulation, FreeDOS cannot be booted. It is
trying to map the drives via the BIOS and the Grub mapping really hoses
things.
