Bug#492204:

notfound 492204 1.96+20080626-1
thanks

I don't like to have 2 versions found with this bug.
This applies now only for current sid version.
Probable Robert and me the only people who read this, but just in case :)

VMware SCSI Disks are numbered X:Y
X means controller, can be 0-3
I only use one so always 0
Y means disk number, can be 0-15
I only ever use 3 so for me 0-2

If you have a harddisk as 0:0 booted kernel with root=/dev/sda1 
then grub-install /dev/sda

then change in VMware this disk to 0:1 and in BIOS to boot first from 0:1
grub boots fine

If you boot the system as above but then do grub-install /dev/sdb
then reboot and then go to BIOS put the 0:1 disk before the just booted 0:0
so the new grub setup on sdb gets loaded
prefix is fd1,0

Shame on me, I wanted to make it very clear on this report and then didn't :)
I only meant harddisk 0:0 booted with root=/dev/sda1
not the 0:1 disk booted

Bug#492204: grub: if installed to sdb and then booted from it just by changing boot order in BIOS prefix becomes fd

2008-07-24 Thread Felix Zielcke

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080626-1
Severity: important



grub-install /dev/sdb
swap hard disks boot order in BIOS so sdb gets booted
prefix for grub is fd instead of hd
grub.cfg has it right with hd0

set shows
root=fd0,1
prefix=(fd0,1)/boot/grub

ls shows (hd0) (hd0,1) (hd1) (hd1,0)
