Bug#477100: grub-pc: grub-probe -t device / is giving me a core dump with latest version installed.

[Gavin Bravery]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080413-1
Severity: normal

I have root on a raid volume.
I recently upgraded the kernel and noticed that the installer for that
had failed, due to grub-probe... Did some digging and decided it might
be related my grub version...

Have now tried changing to GRUB2 properly, and the problem still exists.

Can only conclude that the patch recently delivered for LVM doesn't work
for my LVM on RAID1...
