grub-install fix for problem with /dev/sdp and /dev/sdaa

[David Peet]

Hi,

I have a CentOS 6.3 based system and the grub-install script

does not work for devices named /dev/sdp or /dev/sdp<number>,

and they also do not work with devices named /dev/sd<letter><letter>

and /dev/sd<letter><letter><number> like /dev/sdaa  and /dev/sdaa1

which is the next drive after /dev/sdz.

The fix is easy.

Attached is the patch file, and also here is the actual code in case

attachments don't get through.

Thanks
