Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta1-1
Severity: grave
After the last update apt-get fails to install grub-pc with that error msg:
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.
(hd0)/dev/sda
grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /.
-------------
My system is fully crypted (lvm based), except /boot which is not crypted.
If you need some more informations, I'll try to provide them.
Greetings
Winnie
