Of course this made debugging difficult.


Ok, if you really don't want to replace the device.map on the fly,
let me propose yet another solution: in case of grub-probe failure, we
regenerate a device.map in a temporary file and we try grub-probe again
but with --device-map pointing to this temporary file. That way the
default device.map doesn't get modified and we still have a chance to mak=
e
it work by default. We would display a message saying that the device.map
has to be verified if we succeed through the fallback solution.

Please find the corresponding patch attached.

Cheers,
