With latest version from experimental I get:
Richte grub-common ein (1.96+20080724-7) ...
Richte grub-pc ein (1.96+20080730-1) ...
Installiere neue Version der Konfigurationsdatei /etc/grub.d/10_hurd ...
Installiere neue Version der Konfigurationsdatei /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ...

Installiere neue Version der Konfigurationsdatei /etc/grub.d/00_header ...
Installiere neue Version der Konfigurationsdatei /etc/default/grub ...
Updating /boot/grub/grub.cfg ...

done
Richte grub2 ein (1.96+20080730-1) ...

So I don't think, that evms devices are working better, because I get:


(x86_64)root at obelix:/home/mathiasb# grub-install hd0
grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/evms/sda1.  Check your
device.map.

Auto-detection of a filesystem module failed.
Please specify the module with the option `--modules' explicitly.


(x86_64)root at obelix:/home/mathiasb# grub-probe -v /
...
grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/evms/root64.  Check your
device.map.


(x86_64)root at obelix:/home/mathiasb# grub-probe -v /boot
...
grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/evms/sda1.  Check your
device.map.

I will now downgrade again to grub2_1.95-5_amd64.deb, because I need this
workstation and cannot face longer downtimes.
