Right; if we patch it (as opposed to simply moving to grub2, although I think that will be a while), we'll have to keep the patch local. That's unfortunate, but given the way grub development seems to be working, I think it's unavoidable. > So, it looks like Grub2 could use a patch to correctly set log_file by > first correctly setting mklog to call mktemp and then using log_file > when attempting to create the device map file.

I suspect those two lines were probably overlooked when the log_file stuff was removed (though I don't know for sure -- actually I'm not even sure that the grub2 code was built off the grub1 code, although grub-install looks similar).
