Bug#478228: grub-probe can't handle (raid) md-devices

[Felix Zielcke]

Hello,

>grub-probe: info: opening md6
>/home/rmh/hacking/grub/debian/upload/grub2-1.96+20080704/kern/disk.c:220: Opening `md6'...
>/home/rmh/hacking/grub/debian/upload/grub2-1.96+20080704/kern/disk.c:299: Opening `md6' failed.
>/home/rmh/hacking/grub/debian/upload/grub2-1.96+20080704/kern/disk.c:312: Closing `md6'.
>grub-probe: error: unknown device md6

Hmm, I don't know how it should look like.
So please update grub-common (and better grub-pc also) to 1.96+20080724-2
which should be in the next days in testing on the mirrors.
Recreate your devicemap with grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy
and please check your raid config with mdadm.
You should be using /dev/md6 devices and not /dev/md/6, because the latter aren't yet supported by grub-probe
Try again grub-install
and if it fails then again grub-probe -vv
I hope that the output then isn't the same as you had.
