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

[Arthur Marsh]

I tried the grub prob.mod patch posted in the last 24 hours on the svn 
code grub-pc 1.96+20090608, and at the grub prompt ran:

probe -t fs_uuid (hd1,1)

which returned the same UUID as appears in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg:

menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, linux 2.6.30-rc8-686" {
         set root=(hd1,1)
         search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 
bfdeb6d6-0b77-4beb-a63d-bdc3e455b8ea
         linux   /vmlinuz-2.6.30-rc8-686 root=/dev/hda7 ro
         initrd  /initrd.img-2.6.30-rc8-686
}

However, GRUB2 still won't boot GNU/Linux with the search line claiming 
that it can't find the device.

If I remove the search line I can boot GNU/Linux alright.

Regards,

Arthur.
