Bug#478006: update-grub ommits /boot/ from kernel and initrd pathes after update to 0.97-36

[Juergen Kosel]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-36
Severity: normal

Hello,

after the update of grub from 0.97-32 to 0.97-36,
it ommits on one of my computers the base path /boot/ from the kernel entries.
So it comes to this entry:

title		Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.24-1-486
root		(hd0,3)
kernel		/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-486 root=/dev/hda9 ro pci=biosirq acpi=force panic=5 
initrd		/initrd.img-2.6.24-1-486

instead of

title		Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.24-1-486
root		(hd0,3)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-486 root=/dev/hda9 ro pci=biosirq acpi=force panic=5 
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-1-486


The point is, that on this machine /boot is a symlink to fullyfy
the restrictions of the old BIOS and the partition layout:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   10 18. Aug 2007  /boot -> /opt/boot/

and /opt is the mount point of a partition below zylinder 1024.


Greetings
	Juergen
