Bug#352731: grub: mkbimage assumes /dev/loop1 is available

[Pierre Pronchery]

Package: grub
Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-17
Severity: important

mkbimage assumes /dev/loop1 is available, quoting the script:
    losetup $lo_options /dev/loop1 $image
    mkfs.$fs /dev/loop1
    losetup -d /dev/loop1

this could erase a filesystem waiting to be mounted on this loop device,
if I'm correct.

HTH.
