    vol_id missing!

    I have a problem with the grub loader, it uses the vol_id (/sbin/vol_id) and i have it missing.
    i ran apt-file search vol_id and i do have the udev package which is kinda odd that i have the vol_id missing.
    i ran some search in google and figured out i have blkid! (and i haven't upgraded to karmic yet), now the problem is that update-grub currently uses vol_id and i get some errors on loading because of that.

    anything i could do?

    Thanks.

    Try:
    Code:
    sudo ln /lib/udev/vol_id /sbin/vol_id

    udev (141-3+gitf079968) karmic; urgency=low

    * Update to GIT HEAD:
    - vol_id removed, rules converted to using blkid.
    Use blkid, luke!
