Bug#423268: grub-pc: system unbootable when /boot and separate partion, doesnt detect other installed OSes.

[Bharath Ramesh]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.95+20070507-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


After upgrading to the newer version of Grub2, postinst runs update-grub which
uses hooks in /etc/grub.d/. If /boot is mounted on separate partition the
grub.cfg still retains /boot/vmlinuz-* as the location for the kernel and
similarly for initrd. This renders the system unbootable.

Secondly it doesnt detect the existence of other OSes in the case of a dual
boot system. Causing those OSes to be unbootable.
