Bug#301373: update-grub fails silently when / is defined using labels in /etc/fstab

[Christian Luijten]

Package: grub
Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-15
Severity: normal


When having something like this in /etc/fstab:
LABEL=root / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1

update-grub will only output:
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub .

without mentioning it cannot find the corresponding root device.

Function find_device in /sbin/update-grub starting on line 58 should
find this device.
