Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta2-2
Severity: normal


Dear grub-pc Maintainers,

just wanna note that it failed with linux-image-2.6.30-1-686 on unstable, but linux-image-2.6.29-2-686 worked smooth.

Don't know what changed in 2.6.30, maybe something about Resume (this is promting now) or LVM2.

The Error was regarding:

grub-pc: grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /.

Leaving grub-pc half-configured and rendering it to have me booting it from hand via the grub-shell.

After booting linux-image-2.6.29-2-686 dpkg --configre was running without an error.

Best regards, Jan
