[grub-probe fails while running boot-update]

Yeah, I ran grub-install beforehand. I figured out the problem though. I have /boot on a separate partition and it wasn't being automatically mounted (which I didn't check beforehand), so grub-probe obviously couldn't find the device map, and that's why it was bombing out. :P

 

Note to self: don't make silly mistakes!

[grub-probe fails while running boot-update]

I installed Funtoo yesterday, and while configuring grub, boot-update failed while running. The specific error message was:

Copyright 2009-2012 Funtoo Technologies

 [use option "-l" for license info, "-h" for help]

 * Generating config for grub...

 * ERROR : /usr/sbin/grub-probe  --device auto --target=abstraction

 * Did not complete successfully.

After running grub-probe manually, it returned the error:

grub-probe: info: cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map': No such file or directory.
grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of udev.

Has this problem been experienced before? Or is my system misconfigured?
