Bug#496035: update-grub says unknown device hd1

2008-08-22 Thread Anthony Campbell
Package: grub
Version: 0.97-46
Severity: normal

Running update-grub gives:

error: unknown device hd1

This is repeated 4 times. The rest of the sequence completes normally
and /boot/grub/menu.list is generated. Thus the message does not seem to
indicate that things are not working and I can later reboot without
problems.

Unfortunately I was now very stupid about this topic.
Please see #495909
This has been already reported against grub-legacy but I reassigned it
because the errors are shown by grub-probe which belongs to grub-common
(grub2 source package)
The repord should better be cloned, so I just use yours now for
grub-legacy and the other stays at grub2.

It's not easy to fix this and I doubt that we ever do this for
grub-legacy, so I tag yours wontfix.
