Bug#476833: [grub] update-grub can't find device.map if in /boot/boot/grub

[segmentation at ntlworld.com]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-36
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

When trying to install a new self-compiled kernel update-grub fails on
grub-probe.  My grub install is in /boot/boot/grub.  Although the script
finds the installation directory it tries to look for device.map in the
default location /boot/grub

I added in "-m ${device_map}" on the 2 grub-probe lines (one in
find_device() and one in convert()) and the installation went ok.

Output from installation below.


Cheers,
D
