Package: grub
Version: 0.97-47
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable for many users
Segmentation fault in grub-probe prevents any automated install.
Only manual installation within grub shell is possible.
"whg" Setup:
- 4 x 250 GB SATA HDD
- 5 GB RAID1 /dev/md0 over all 4 disks (hd[abcd]1) with ext3 /
- swap partition on each disk (hd[abcd]2)
- ~240 GB RAID1 /dev/md1 over hda3 and hdb3 type
- ~240 GB RAID1 /dev/md2 over hdc3 and hdd3
- RAID0 /dev/md3 over /dev/md1 and /dev/md2 with 16KiB chunk size
- therfore /dev/sd[cd]3 does not contain any recognizable signature
