Bug#393079: savedefault still a problem on RAID systems

[Wolfgang Karall]

Hello,

just to add to the mail from Otavio on Dec 5th: this is still a problem
with the current etch version of grub, haven't tested sid's version.

My setup: 2 HDDs, 3 partitions each sd[ab][123], 3 RAID1-Arrays md[012],
root-Filesystem and also /boot on /dev/md1.

Using

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-3-k7
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-3-k7 root=/dev/md1 ro md=1,/dev/sda2,/dev/sdb2
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-3-k7

the system boots fine, if I add a savedefault entry below the initrd
line (as update-grub does by default), I get "Error 15: file not found".
Which is especially fun if this is a remote system where I have means to
interactively edit grub's menu at boot time. ;)

While trying to figure out the problem, I did the whole setup once more
in a VMware-Installation, same result: savedefault breaks the boot
process, without it I can boot just fine. So I guess it's not really
hardware dependend.

Kind regards
