This is no more a supported version; and grub legacy upstream is also
stopped, only receiving possible random fixes locally

Title:
  GRUB fails to create correct device.map in 64b 9.04 upgrade

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  After upgrade failure in amd64 8.10 to 9.04 both upgrade and
  subsequent hardware failures, booting from GRUB results in a Error 17.

  I verified the correct disk, device.map, corrected the menu.lst (to
  reflect change in disk order), and boot still fails.

  I decided to verify that the upgraded could see the partition, but
  when I mounted the upgraded 9.04 partition, ran GRUB to create device
  map for verification, it contained only the floppy disk drive and no
  hard drives.  See attachment.

  Motherboard was replaced after failures after the upgrade was
  finished.  9.04 booted successfully but had errors before the
  motherboard change, after the change it would not boot.

  I corrected the menu.lst in /boot to reflect a change in order of
  mounted drives.
