Hi, I have a CentOS 6.3 based system and the grub-install script does not work for devices named /dev/sdp or /dev/sdp<number>, and they also do not work with devices named /dev/sd<letter><letter> and /dev/sd<letter><letter><number> like /dev/sdaa and /dev/sdaa1 which is the next drive after /dev/sdz.
The fix is easy.
Attached is the patch file, and also here is the actual code in case
attachments don't get through.
Thanks
