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
