Bug#666974: Acknowledgement (installs to /dev/sda when grub-installer/bootdev = /dev/sdb)
I realised the code fragments I showed are from master, not the
squeeze branch. However I don't think it makes a difference.
Firstly the code parsing grub-mkdevicemap has not changed.
Secondly even if the condition
([ "$default_bootdev" != '(hd0)' ] && \
! partmap "$default_bootdev" >/dev/null && \
! grub_probe -t fs -d "$default_bootdev" >/dev/null); then
is met, I think that because of the preseeding
db_fget grub-installer/bootdev seen
$RET will be true so that the code checking where /boot comes from
if [ "$RET" != true ]; then
bootfs=$(findfs /boot)
[ "$bootfs" ] || bootfs="$(findfs /)"
disk=$(device_to_disk "$bootfs")
db_set grub-installer/bootdev "$disk"
state=2
fi
(which might fix the problem) will never run.
