Bug#235295: update-grub error: does not have any corresponding BIOS drive

[Grant Bowman]

Package: grub
Version: 0.93+cvs20031021-8
Severity: normal

I have a machine I just installed Debian woody onto.  The script
update-grub was working great.  

Then upgraded to sarge and I fired up devfs when I upgraded to kernel
2.6.3.  Now when I run update-grub I get the output:

Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub .
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.

I'm assuming that update-grub needs to be updated to handle devfs, but
I'm not sure yet.  I should take more time to explore it, sorry.  I also
looked for similar bugs but didn't see any that seemed appropriate,
though several related to update-grub processing.

Regards,
