    Hello,

    We updated smp kernel on a Sun V20Z AMD Opteron Scsi device.
    After installation we tried grub-install /dev/sda and we got

    /sbin/grub-install: line 475: 4041 Segmentation fault

    [root@cict-009 ~]# uname -a
    Linux cict-009.toulouse.grid5000.fr 2.6.10-1.741_FC3smp #1 SMP Thu Jan 13 16:58:29 EST 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    [root@cict-009 ~]# grub-install /dev/sda
    /sbin/grub-install: line 475: 4041 Segmentation fault $grub_shell --batch $no_floppy --device-map=$device_map >$log_file <<EOF
    root $root_drive
    setup $force_lba --stage2=$grubdir/stage2 --prefix=$grub_prefix $install_drive
    quit
    EOF

    Installation finished. No error reported.
    This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
    Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
    fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

    # this device map was generated by anaconda
    (fd0) /dev/fd0
    (hd0) /dev/sda

    Any idea.

    Regards
