Subject: grub-pc: grub-probe error when /dev/hda does not exist
Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100614-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When installing grub-pc I now get the following error output:
Setting up grub-pc (1.98+20100614-2) ...
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `/dev/hda'.
Generating grub.cfg ...
...
Recent kernel changes made /dev/hd? dissapear, replaced by /dev/sd? for
both pata and sata HDDs, hence no /dev/hd? are created.
Additionally, in order to cope with these changes UUIDs are now used
in /etc/fstab. For Windows entries, however, which also have UUIDs in
fstab, /dev/sd? are written to grub.cfg. Confusing!
