Description Sander Sweers 2010-01-28 14:00:58 UTC 
grub-mkconfig calls grub-probe which tries to figure out the root device. This fails when it finds an unsupported filesystem like btrfs. The patch that follows will add a fallback to grub-probe. It has been adapted from a patch at launchpad 450260. The difference is that defaulting to /dev/sda1 seems wrong to me (and in my case is).

Was this issue reported upstream? This patch will be applied faster in case upstream reviews fix.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2010-01-29 15:25:56 UTC 
take it upstream.  i'm not interested in screwing with grub2 at this time.
