Bug#590635: grub-common: Grub fails to detect filesystem for Win XP.

[Antonio P. P. Almeida]

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100722-1
Severity: important

Here's the output:

Generating grub.cfg ...
Found background image: moreblue-orbit-grub.png
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34-ck1maxwell
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33.1maxwell
Found Microsoft Windows XP Professional on /dev/sda1
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
done

I've seen that is an outstanding bug. As you can see the menu entry
for Windoze is borked. I gather that this is an upstream problem.

Thank you,
