Bug#380281: update-grub doesn't update vmlinuz and initrd.img entries correctly

[Gleidson Echeli Leopoldo]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-12
Severity: important

Hi, i compile my own kernel and installed today. I observed that
update-grub doesn't update the menu.lst correctly. My vmlinuz and
initrd.img are in /boot on hda1 (hd0,0) partition. However the
update-grub write in menu.lst such as hda2 (hd0,1). I did run
update-grub any times and the result was the same.

The command was:

# update-grub
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst
Searching for splash image ... found:
(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splashimages/debianpink.xpm.gz

Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17.7-quimera
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8
Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done


And the relevant content of menu.lst is:

...
title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.17.7-quimera
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17.7-quimera root=/dev/hda2 ro
console=tty0
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17.7-quimera
savedefault
boot

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.17.7-quimera (recovery mode)
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17.7-quimera root=/dev/hda2 ro
console=tty0 single
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17.7-quimera
savedefault
boot

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.16-2-amd64-k8
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8 root=/dev/hda2 ro
console=tty0
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8
savedefault
boot

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.16-2-amd64-k8 (recovery mode)
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8 root=/dev/hda2 ro
console=tty0 single
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-2-amd64-k8
savedefault
boot
...

The lines would have to be:

...
root 		(hd0,0)
kernel 		/boot/vmlinuz ... root=/dev/hda1 ...
...
