Bug#476481: Bootability regression with Smart Array controller and grub > 0.97-32

[Matthew Hall]

Robert,

Thanks for the quick reply... I am sorry I have not responded more 
rapidly. On my system, once I install grub2 and run grub-mkdevicemap, a 
blank device map file is generated. The problem persists when I use an 
alternative map file (test.txt in ~) as well. I verified the version 
with grub-mkdevicemap --version and it reported "1.96". Therefore I am 
inclined to think the problem is also still present in grub2.

What else should I try next?

Matthew
