Bug#260276: grubconf: parses "root=" in menu.lst incorrectly

[Mika Wahlroos]

Package: grubconf
Version: 0.5.1-3
Severity: normal

When grubconf is started and reads the grub configuration file, root=/dev/hda1x in the 
options of the kernel becomes root=/dev/hda1 - it drops the latter numeral. For example in 
my menu.lst (which was originally generated by grubconf)

title Debian GNU/Linux
#:0 <-- type: 0 => linux, 1 => windows, 2 => other
        root (hd0,7)
        kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hda10 (null)

becomes

title Debian GNU/Linux
#:0 <-- type: 0 => linux, 1 => windows, 2 => other
        root (hd0,7)
        kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hda1 (null)

The same happens to another entry where root=/dev/hda12 - it also becomes
/dev/hda1.

The change appears in the grubconf GUI immediately following grubconf startup and sticks 
in the configuration file if grubconf rewrites it, i.e. if something is modified with 
grubconf.
