Hello,
on linux systems with udev, grub2 doesn't work at all, error message is
error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/...
A partial fix can be found at http://darac.livejournal.com/220952.html
But ... util/biosdisk.c has another issue with detecting udev. The
routine has_devfs searchs for /dev/.devfsd, which cames from deprecated
devfs. Enclosed is a synthetic patch, I compiled and ran it fine on my
machine.
Best regards
Pascal Dupuis
