Bug#478004: Acknowledgement (grub-probe finds problematic partition device)

[Lupe Christoph]

I had an idea how to circumvent this problem. I created a symlink
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2008-04-27 11:48 /dev/scsi/sdh1-f7ceb000c0i2l0 -> sdh1-0c0i2l0
and put that in /boot/grub/device.map:
(hd0)   /dev/scsi/sdh1-f7ceb000c0i2l0

Now grub-probe -t device /boot works, but grub-probe -t drive /boot
does not:
grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/scsi/sdh1-f7ceb000c0i2l0p1.  Check your device.map.

Doing the same with sdh1-f7ceb000c0i2l0p gives the same result.

I'll now risk a failed reboot to see if this is just a confused situation
created by updating a Testing system but not rebooting every time.
