Bug#467025: grub-pc: symlink (/vmlinuz) on reiserfs: error: file not found

[Christian Meyer]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080219-2
Severity: normal

I'm using grub-pc installed on hda9 and chainloaded from grub legacy on hda/hda1.
hda3 (Debian Etch) and hda9 (Debian Sid) have reiserfs (v3.6), both systems are configured to use the 
symlinks vmlinuz and initrd.img in their root directories (linking to the actual kernel and 
ramdisk). This works well using grub legacy from hda1 (so the symlinks are okay).

In grub2 both partitions are recognized (ls and tab completion) as reiserfs.
Selecting Sid (hda9) works as expected,
Selecting Etch (hda3) produces the error: You need to load the ramdisk first.
Typing on grub commandline: linux (hd0,3)/vmlinuz makes error: file not found
Typing: linux (hd0,3)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-k7 loads the kernel.
