Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
I have an odd disk topology in a system with 2 SCSI HDD, 1 IDE HDD and 2
IDE DVD(-R and -RW).
Knowing that, I would expect to find them under linux (up till Edgy) as
/dev/sda , /dev/sdb, /dev/hdc, /dev/hda, and /dev/hdb (in order
according to the above).
Since the /dev/sd support is fresher and better than the old one for
/dev/hd (larger disks, etc) it was decided to use the /dev/sd even for
IDE HDDs.
An upgrade from Edgy to Feisty caused my system to miss the previsous
SCSI disks (fstab, grub, etc) because it has set the IDE as /dev/sda and
the two SCSI as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc
Nothing I could not figure out and set up propperly, but it meant that
until I have discovered this, I could not mount (wrong referencees) my
partitions on the SCSI drives, nor I could boot from the settings on
GRUB not related to Ubuntu it self (again, wrong references).
The most bizzar happened because I also had to map the HD0 and HD1 so
Windows would boot, but the /boot/grub/device.map kept the previous
informations as well [/dev/hdc (HD0); /dev/sda (HD1); /dev/sdb (HD2) ]
Since it works fine on fresh installations, why does it have to fail on
upgrades?
