+* (./) Fix grub for user-space partitions (2010-07-16)
+ * grub-probe detects the whole device rather than the partition
as the device behind /boot/grub.
Consequently, grub-install fails.
* One approach would be to replace /dev/hd* by kernel devices
for file systems as well as for swap partitions.
- * On the other hand, grub-probe will need to be fixed
- sooner or later for user-space partition support,
- and parsing the fsysopts would possibly be an option.
