We've moved to GRUB 2 as a development platform. Please can you check if this bug still applies there, and if it does, reopen it?

Thanks

When using grub-install to install GRUB in the MBR on Compaq/HP SmartArray logical disks, the installation fails.

This is due to an erratic detection of the partition number when none is given.

SmartArray logical disks are numbered /dev/c\dd\ (e.g. /dev/c0d0) and each of their partitions is numbered p\d (e.g. /dev/c0d0p1) and grub-install uses the following sed regexp to get the partition number : 's%.c[0-7]d[0-9]p\?%%'.

When GRUB is to be installed in the MBR, there is no "p" in the end of the device name though.

Attached is a patch to fix the issue. Thank you for including it.

Regards,

Raphaël Pinson
