Subject: grub-pc: grub-probe error when /dev/hda does not exist Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98+20100614-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream
*** Please type your report below this line *** When installing grub-pc I now get the following error output: Setting up grub-pc (1.98+20100614-2) ... /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `/dev/hda'. Generating grub.cfg ... ... Recent kernel changes made /dev/hd? dissapear, replaced by /dev/sd? for both pata and sata HDDs, hence no /dev/hd? are created. Additionally, in order to cope with these changes UUIDs are now used in /etc/fstab. For Windows entries, however, which also have UUIDs in fstab, /dev/sd? are written to grub.cfg.
