Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98~20091229-1
Severity: normal
Got me too. Updating grub left my system unbootable, again.
In my case the BIOS shuffeled the HDDs around when I changed some setting.
It will affect a lot of people when the kernel changes to use libata and
all disks are renamed from /dev/hdN to /dev/sdN.
Please note that this can also destroy your data, if you don't have a
partition table on the disk (which reserves some space for the MBR). E.g.,
if you use the whole disk as a physical volume for LVM and grub writes on it
the LVM metadata and probably some user data too will be lost.
So this bug better be fixed soon. If it can't be fixed easily, I'd suggest,
as a work-around, to not remember the install device but instead ask each
time grub is updated.
Cheers,
harry
