Bug#530357: Info received (grub-pc: with dedicate /boot filesystem, search line uses / uuid instead of /boot uuid)

[Arthur Marsh]

OK, I clarified the problem. With either the UUID of the / filesystem or 
the /boot filesystem in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg search line:

ie either:

search --fs-uuid --set bfdeb6d6-0b77-4beb-a63d-bdc3e455b8ea

or:

search --fs-uuid --set 96c96a61-8615-4715-86d0-09cb8c62638c

I get:

error: no such device bfdeb6d6-0b77-4beb-a63d-bdc3e455b8ea

or:

error: no such device 96c96a61-8615-4715-86d0-09cb8c62638c

By removing the "search --fs-uuid --set ...." line entirely I can boot 
successfully.

Thanks for your help!
