Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100706-1
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Per specification, grub partitions are counted from 0, in the /dev system,
counts start with 1. So the correct translation is
/dev/hda1 --> (hd0,0)
/dev/hdb5 --> (hd1,4)
etc.
grub-probe seems to translate first the dev partition name to a grub name,
/dev/hda5 to (hd0,5), and then uses this wrong partition name to access
the partition properties. Which gives a problem if there is only one
partition.
Worst, this wrong partition is then also used in grub.cfg, rendering the
system unbootable.
