Hi Yoshinori
I've never used the the 'd' option on any of my grub installs. As I
understand the option 'd' from your past posts, it is just an option
telling grub to search the partitions with a different search method.
Is this 'd' option search method more reliable and less prone to error
than the default method invoked when no option is specified?
