Bug#591289: closed by Colin Watson <cjwatson at debian.org> (Re: Bug#591289: grub-probe returns wrong results)

[Holger Schuh]

thank you for your fast response.
Problem is GRUB_LEGACY_0_BASED_PARTITIONS=1 is not set by default and
update-grub (using grub-probe and updating grub.cfg) will ruin my
system whenever invoked .... which will be the case whenever a new
kernel will be installed.

Don't like that,

Holger
