Comment 13 for bug 1093918

thanks, but this is one of hundreds of constellations i already checked out
from my listing above you would know, that

(hd3) /dev/mapper/via_jehhchjje
      ^

would be correct in my case.

anyway -- NO chance .... seems not being possible to workaround this bug.

my current device.map fyi:

(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST31000528AS_6VP9JJJG
(hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST1000DL002-9TT153_W1V09RY5
(hd2) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST1000DL002-9TT153_W1V09HRJ
(hd3) /dev/mapper/via_jehhchjje
(hd3,1) /dev/mapper/via_jehhchjje1
(hd3,2) /dev/mapper/via_jehhchjje2
(hd3,5) /dev/mapper/via_jehhchjje5
(hd3,7) /dev/disk/by-uuid/90ac6970-5f11-442d-8b51-c336f9e4149c
(hd3,8) /dev/disk/by-uuid/f5768a22-a5a9-4ee2-93fa-c2396573dbcf

it makes no difference for the line with hd3,7 and hd3,8 if it written with UUID or like this:

(hd3,7) /dev/dev/mapper/via_jehhchjje7
(hd3,8) /dev/dev/mapper/via_jehhchjje8

or even

(hd3,7) /dev/dm-6
(hd3,8) /dev/dm-7

absolutly no change in error message when update-grub:

done

even same error message without any device.map file
.
could someone have a look to the code in grub-probe please ??!!??!!
or are we just discussing (talking in a circle without any outcome?!) here?
.
as far as i remember there was similar situation in the past when upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10
.
issue was solved in the past, but same error popped back
.
maybe someone in the past forgot to feed back the code changes in grub to http://www.gnu.org/ for root of any code changes in grub ??!!??
