Bug#530357: grub-pc: still can't automatically boot on i386 with dedicate /boot filesystem and / not visible to BIOS

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090604-1
Severity: normal
I'm still no closer to what is going wrong.
If I try to boot automatically, GRUB2 complains that there is no such device
bfdeb6d6-0b77-4beb-a63d-bdc3e455b8ea
If I try to edit the entry that it failed to boot, I only see the
set root=(hd0,1)
line.
If I edit another entry, or edit the default entry before it attempts to
boot automatically and remove the line starting with "search" I can then
boot normally.
I have obtained the SVN code:
svn export svn://svn.savannah.gnu.org/grub/trunk/grub2 grub2 && cd grub2 && svn
export svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-grub/grub2/trunk/debian
cd ..
svn cat svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-grub/grub/trunk/debian/update-grub > debian/leg
acy/update-grub
and installed it, including running grub-install '(hd0)'
and still have the same problem.
