--- Begin Message ---Package: grub Version: 0.97-47 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software When installing new kernels onto the system, the kernel package post instalation fails on update-grub (output attached below), this problem has also affected a number of my collegues, all of us have a raid1 configuration on our boot partition. I tried to get to the bottom of the problem by running the following steps: Running update-grub manually produces the errored status: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# update-grub Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# echo $? 1 Upon investigation of the update-grub script, I tracked the problem down to line 155 of update grub: GRUB_LEGACY_0_BASED_PARTITIONS=1 grub-probe --device-map=${device_map} -t drive -d "$1" 2> /dev/null I discovered the options that were being used and this is the command which is being run: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /usr/sbin/grub-probe --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map -t drive -d "/dev/sda1" error: cannot open `/dev/sdf' error: cannot open `/dev/sdf' grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1.
