Package: grub-common
Version: 1.96+20080724-12
Severity: important
On two of my systems with software raid install-grub fails with an error
message:
r...@samsi-server:~# /usr/sbin/grub-install --recheck --no-floppy /dev/sda
error: array->nr_devs > array->total_devs (2)?!?
error: array->nr_devs > array->total_devs (2)?!?
error: array->nr_devs > array->total_devs (2)?!?
error: array->nr_devs > array->total_devs (2)?!?
error: array->nr_devs > array->total_devs (2)?!?
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
error: array->nr_devs > array->total_devs (2)?!?
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb
(hd2) /dev/sdc
r...@samsi-server:~#
Exactly the same happens when I use sdb or md0 instead of sda. Running
grub-install through bash -x reveals that grub-probe is the problem:
++ grub-probe --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map -t drive -d /dev/sda

On system 2 the etch version of grub (0.97-27etch1) is able to boot the system.
On system 1, however, neither etch grub, lenny grub or lenny grub-pc will
install without the error message. If I install grub 0.97-51 (experimental) and
grub-common (1.96+20081201-1) grub installs without error message.
I have not tried rebooting system 2 with the grub installations that gives
error messages as the system is located abroad (4 hours total travel time by
plane). System 1 is just 10km away but unreachable for the next week and I have
only tried the etch grub.
I have tried to remove the spares on both md0 and md1 on system 1; nothing
changes. I have also tried changing partition types on sdc to 83 instead of fd;
still no change.
I am at a loss. I cannot figure out what is the problem, nor how to fix it. To
me it seems like a bug in grub-probe from grub2. I will gladly give any
information that might help.
