I had one user complain about it segfaulting on his machine, but I've not seen any problems. This is with svn2137. --------------- Andreas wrote: I'm experiencing also problems using it, but it's not segfaulting. Using a svn2130 build grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy create a device.map with proper content like this: (hd0) /dev/sda But a svn2137 build (exactly the same BandiPat uses) creates this content, which might not be wrong, but at least the most important part my HDD is missing: (fd0) (null) Probably this problem was introduced by revision 2133 and obviously wasn't fixed in rev 2134 - 2137 and in 2138 - 2140 I can see nothing which might fix this. It would be great if somebody could have a look what could cause this problem. Maybe davem as the author of that revision. If you need any additional information give me a yell and I'll try my best to provide it. ============== Decided to start a new topic more fitting to this problem. Sorry for what looks like a double posting. I just tested on one machine, running grub-mkdevicemap -v from the shell, which resulted in a segfault and blank device.map file in /boot/grub! Looks like some bug was introduced after svn2130 in the file. Thanks devs for your attention to this one. Pat
