Bug#533898: grub-mkdevicemap gives wrong alias for device on powerpc

[Jörg Sommer]

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.96+20090603-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

grub-probe reports hd0 as device for booting, but the bootload doesn't
find this device. It has to be hd without the trailing zero.

# grub-probe --device /dev/hda4 --target=drive
(hd0,4)

% cat /boot/grub/device.map
(hd0)	/dev/hda

The name used by OpenFirmware:

% ofpathname -a /dev/hda
hd

The full path:

% ofpathname /dev/hda
/pci at f4000000/ata-6 at d/disk at 0

Similar the cd:

% ofpathname -a /dev/hdc
cd
ide0
%  ofpathname /dev/hdc
/pci at f2000000/mac-io at 17/ata-3 at 20000/disk at 0
