Bug#423104: grub-pc not installing

[Yann Dirson]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.95+20070507-1
Severity: serious

I have a problem that looks similar to 422851, but the error is
slightly different, so I open a new report.

FWIW, hda1 is my root filesystem (and is declared as such in fstab),
and most other filesystems are on evms volumes:

|/dev/hda1       /               ext3    errors=remount-ro       0       1
|/dev/evms/usr   /usr            ext3    defaults                0       2

|/dev/evms/var   /var            ext3    defaults                0       2

In case it helps:
