With old grub-common: #update-grub -v Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ... Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-amd64 Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done with new grub-common: # update-grub -v Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub warning: grub-probe can't find drive for /dev/xvda1. grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/xvda1. Check your device.map. Replacing grup-probe with a wrapper script, I can see that update-grub is calling grub-probe several times, with the following parameters: --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map -t device / --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map -t device /boot -t abstraction --device /dev/xvda1 --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map -t drive -d /dev/xvda1 --device-map=/tmp/device.map.woTwrstX -t drive -d /dev/xvda1 It seems to me that the first call witch fails with the new grub (but succeeds with the new one) is this: grub-probe -t abstraction --device /dev/xvda1 -v With old grub, this returns: # grub-probe -t abstraction --device /dev/xvda1 -v error: cannot open `/dev/xvda' error: cannot open `/dev/xvda' grub-probe: info: did not find LVM/RAID in /dev/xvda1, assuming raw device With new grub, this returns: # grub-probe -t abstraction --device /dev/xvda1 -v grub-probe: info: /dev/xvda1 starts from 0. grub-probe: info: opening the device hd0. grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/xvda1. Check your device.map. As I have already shown, device.map contains this: (hd0) /dev/xvda so it might try to open /dev/xvda, which is a fake device, it does not exist. Only xvda1 and xvda2 exists. Old grub could cope with this. > and tell what you actually tried rather than a very vague paraphrase. > I don't remember. Tried to get this work a few months ago, the failed and dropped it. (Went back to old grub.) Now I am forced to upgrade, because lvm updates. Tried again, still does not work. Thus, I report the bug. Please let me know how can I help you to debug this.
