Package: grub
Version: 0.97-35
After upgrade from grub version 0.97-32, I was unable to install new kernel
version becouse update-grub fails. It seems that problem is with grub-probe:
isis:~# grub-probe /
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sde1.
Downgrade to version 0.97-32 solves the problem.
Maybe it is worth mentioning that /dev/sde1 is my root drive (at the moment).
But I use UUID to identify partitions in my /etc/fstab
and /boot/grub/menu.lst
from fstab:
...
UUID=199d56b3-7b2a-45f4-8be8-58a620aca501 / ext3
defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
...
from menu.lst
...
# kopt=root=UUID=199d56b3-7b2a-45f4-8be8-58a620aca501 ro
...

Your device.map didn't include all drives (a regeneration would solve
this: grub --device-map).
