Hi, I had an update-grub fail only reporting "exiting with value 1".
I eventually found the problem that /boot/grub/device.map was
inaccurate, due to having to use different device names as I sometimes
have usb drives plugged in when booting which can use the /dev/sda name
like the SCSI disk.
My working /boot/grub/device.map is:
(hd0) /dev/hda
(hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SIBM_DCAS-34330W_F3T92021
I use the /dev/disk/by-id/* path for the real SCSI disk, and
/dev/disk/by-label/* path for any usb drives, but others might be using
/dev/disk/by-uuid/*.
Could someone please fix the update-grub script to better report a
failure due to problems with /boot/grub/device.map?
Arthur.
