But are you sure this is possible with biosdisk? Perhaps we need hardware access like Linux does (and even then, sometimes Linux gets it wrong). > or reset grub_errno in lvm scan code when error occurs.

We really need to do this anyway, since LVM scan can fail for multiple reasons and maybe the volume group that failed has nothing to do with the one we need for boot. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
