This doesn't seem to be an issue with current versions of Linux (which use /dev/sd[a-z]).

Switching back to using the usb-storage driver in the 2.6.9 kernel fixes the problem. Nonetheless, the grub-install script needs to support device names with /dev/ub* so the patch is still applicable for that part.

The trivial patch from before is not enough. There must have been residue on the drive. When I re-installed after zeroing the beginning of the drive, grub doesn't display anything at bootup (not even the Stage 1.5 text message). Perhaps the 2.6 ub kernel driver is the cause of the broken-ness. (?)

This is a simple patch so that grub-install can install onto devices with names like /dev/ub[a-z] (this looks as if it's going to be the normal name for usb devices.)

Thanks,
Jeff
