Switching back to using the usb-storage driver in the 2.6.9 kernel fixes the
problem. Nonetheless, the grub-install script needs to support device names
with /dev/ub* so the patch is still applicable for that part.

Summary: patch to support ub* device names in grub-install
Original Submission: This is a simple patch so that grub-install can install
onto devices with names like /dev/ub[a-z] (this looks as if it's going to be
the normal name for usb devices.)
Thanks,
Jeff

The trivial patch from before is not enough. There must have been residue on
the drive. When I re-installed after zeroing the beginning of the drive, grub
doesn't display anything at bootup (not even the Stage 1.5 text message).
Perhaps the 2.6 ub kernel driver is the cause of the broken-ness. (?)
