Still getting segmentation fault!

Still getting segmentation fault!

[BandiPat]

root[Y]# grub-install /dev/sda --recheck

/usr/sbin/grub-install: line 307:   478 Segmentation fault 
$grub_setup ${setup_verbose} ${setup_force} --directory=${grubdir} 
--device-map=${device_map} ${install_device}


Daniel provided a backtrace earlier in the "Is this bad?" topic, so do 
you need more to run down the problem?

Thanks,
Pat

Sorry, replying to my own email, but didn't know if this might be 
significant as well.  Thinking maybe the only thing that didn't complete 
was the MBR writing, I tried rebooting to see if I got any errors.  I 
did get a rescue prompt, but couldn't do anything from it.  Here is the 
error:  grub_parser_execute not found

Hopefully helpful,
Pat

Same error here. Reverting back to git prior to May 05 fixes the issue.

Thanks,
Jeff.

---------------
Has there been any progress made on getting the segmentation problem 
fixed?  I've only tested to svn2225, but you guys have made several 
changes since then.  Was one of those patches a fix for this problem?

Thanks
Pat

No.
I'm not at all familiar with the partition code, so I don't have a clue
how to fix this best.

I guess the reason is because identify_partmap() in  
util/i386/pc/grub-setup.c got NESTED_FUNC_ATTR, but the  
grub_partition_iterate() prototype didn't get updated.

Either we need another round of NESTED_FUNC_ATTR propagation, or we  
should actually take a different approach here, as discussed recently.
