Thanks for your report. Somebody else reported this upstream and I fixed it - the fix is in 1.99~20101124-1ubuntu1, which I uploaded to Natty today:
2010-11-23 Colin Watson <cjwat...@ubuntu.com> * util/deviceiter.c (compare_devices): If the by-id link for a device couldn't be resolved, fall back to sorting by the by-id link rather than segfaulting. Reported and tested by: Daniel Mierswa. You should be able to avoid it by fixing whatever broken symlinks you have in /dev/disk/by-id/, though. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Colin Watson (cjwatson) -- grub-mkdevicemap crashed with SIGSEGV in qsort_r() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662500 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
