Bug#549165: grub-legacy: It seems this bug is back

[christian mock]

Package: grub-legacy
Version: 0.97-61
Severity: normal


Hi,

I'm seeing what seems to be the very same problem reported in this
bug, just with newer versions of grub-legacy and dmsetup:

# sh -x /usr/sbin/update-grub
[...]
++ grub-probe --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map -t device /
+ root_device=

# grub-probe --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map -t device /
grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).

# mount
/dev/dm-0 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[...]

# ls -l /dev/dm-0 /dev/mapper/rootvg-root
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 253, 0 Jun 24 22:06 /dev/dm-0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      7 Jun 24 22:06 /dev/mapper/rootvg-root -> ../dm-0

# dpkg -l dmsetup
