Package: grub-common Version: 1.97~beta3-1~bpo50+1 Followup-For: Bug #533898
Hello, see subject. Perhaps too trivial, but in the opening post the grub-probe command should return (hd0,3) instead of (hd0,4). Grub counts from 0, the dev system from 1, so /dev/hda1 translates to (hd0,0) etc. ================================================================ # fdisk -l /dev/hda Disk /dev/hda: 41.1 GB, 41110142976 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 79656 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x28683b66 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 388 195520+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hda2 389 58517 29297016 5 Extended /dev/hda3 58518 60455 976752 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda4 * 60456 79656 9677304 83 Linux /dev/hda5 389 58517 29296984+ 83 Linux =============================================================== On another computer with Debian unstable in a current version, /dev/sda4 is translatet into (hd0, msdos4), obviously comming from the succeeding fat32 partition.
