Package: grub
Version: 0.97-47lenny2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
/usr/bin/grub-install calls grub-probe without --device-map option when
started with --root-directory
Here is my solution:
server:/a# diff /usr/sbin/grub-install /usr/sbin/grub-install.org
374c374
< if [ `grub-probe --device-map=${device_map} -t fs ${grubdir}` = "xfs" ] ; then
---
> if [ `grub-probe -t fs ${grubdir}` = "xfs" ] ; then

# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry

## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro
## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
# kopt=root=/dev/md0 ro

## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true

## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
## lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false
## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5

## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options

# lockold=false
## Xen hypervisor options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenhopt=
## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenkopt=console=tty0
## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
## altoptions=(single-user) single
# altoptions=(single-user mode) single
## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
## howmany=7
# howmany=all
## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
## memtest86=false
# memtest86=true
## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
## can be true or false
# updatedefaultentry=false
## should update-grub add savedefault to the default options
## can be true or false
# savedefault=false
