Hi, I just tried your fix from 1.97+experimental.20091127-1 and it doesn't work. I'm currently chainloading from grub-legacy into grub2. I see:
Welcome to GRUB! Error no such partition. Entering rescue mode... grub rescue> The auto generatd grub.cfg is attched. /dev/mapper/mpath0 is the multipath device. It has two partitions: /dev/mapper/mpath0-part1 - boot device /dev/mapper/mpath0-part2 - VG mp1 The volume group mp1 contains the LV mp1-root - the actual "/"-device. This is the standard partitioning when using root on LVM on multipath in d-i. Cheers, -- Guido
