Bug#523763: grub-common: floating point exception in grub-probe

[Felix Koop]

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.96+20090317-1
Severity: important


When running the following command

grub-probe --target=device /

it returns the correct result, but produces a floating point exception 
afterwards. This has as a consequence that I cannot install any new 
kernels any more. Going back to the former version (1.96+20080724-16)
fixes the problem.

Kind regards,

Felix
