Description Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca 2006-06-05 20:11:30 UTC

Hello,

     grub-install fails to install when the root partition is mounted using its label. Ex:

aracaju: # LANG=C df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
LABEL=Linux           20641788   9831576   9761572  51% /
tmpfs                   508376        12    508364   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda8             34827816  27127388   5931272  83% /mnt/dados
/dev/sda5             10487776    386528  10101248   4% /mnt/dados-fat
/dev/sda1             10249436   3871388   6378048  38% /mnt/windows
aracaju: # grub-install /dev/sda
Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
