Hi  Grub-pc Maintainers,

I had found  Felix Zielcke's post here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg686387.html

<cite>

Check with `ls -l /dev/mapper/' if the files there are real devices or
symlinks to /dev/dm-?
If they're symlinks then this is #542435 which is actually caused by an
upstream dmsetup change: #542422
Though that has been fixed now but it seems like for some people just
upgrading the package and rebooting doestn't solve the problem.
In that case run `echo change > /sys/block/dm-?/uevent'
Replace the ? with every /dev/dm-* device you have.

</cite>

But the issue is not solved this way (unstable is freshest - I did
what above suggested) or maybe not related to dmsetup.

l /dev/mapper/
insgesamt 0
crw-rw----  1 root root  10, 60  9. Sep 11:36 control
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root       7  9. Sep 11:36 vg-lv--root -> ../dm-0
brw-rw----  1 root disk 253,  2  9. Sep 11:36 vg-lv--swap
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root     120  9. Sep 11:36 ./
brw-rw----  1 root disk 253,  1  9. Sep 11:36 vg-lv--tmp
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root    5300  9. Sep 11:37 ../

vg-lv--root -> ../dm-0

is still linked this way, but only under 2.6.30 not under 2.6.29, so
it seems somehow Kernel related.

Best regard, Jan
