Hi, I had an update-grub fail only reporting "exiting with value 1".

I eventually found the problem that /boot/grub/device.map was inaccurate, due to having to use different device names as I sometimes have usb drives plugged in when booting which can use the /dev/sda name like the SCSI disk.

My working /boot/grub/device.map is:

(hd0)   /dev/hda
(hd1)   /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SIBM_DCAS-34330W_F3T92021

I use the /dev/disk/by-id/* path for the real SCSI disk, and /dev/disk/by-label/* path for any usb drives, but others might be using /dev/disk/by-uuid/*.

Could someone please fix the update-grub script to better report a failure due to problems with /boot/grub/device.map?

Arthur.
