Package: grub Version: 0.97-47lenny2 Severity: normal When I use grub-install for a chroot environment (during an installation with FAI) I get following error:
# /usr/sbin/grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory=/target /dev/sda grub-probe: error: Cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map' /usr/sbin/grub-install: line 374: [: =: unary operator expected Installation finished. No error reported. This is the contents of the device map /target/boot/grub/device.map. Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect, fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'. (hd0) /dev/sda This command is run form a nfsroot (which does no have a device.map), the new system is located in /target on /dev/sda, were I like to install the grub. grub-install is now checking which type of file system I had created. This is a part of sh -x output of the command above: + sync ++ grub-probe -t fs /target/boot/grub grub-probe: error: Cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map' + '[' = xfs ']' /usr/sbin/grub-install: line 374: [: =: unary operator expected I think this grub-probe should be called in this way: grub-probe --device-map=/target/boot/grub/device.map -t fs /target/boot/grub which will report ext2 in my situation. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grub depends on: ii grub-common 1.96+20080724-12 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand grub recommends no packages.
