Bug#558042: grub-pc: grub fails to load kernel

[Simon Danner]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97+20091125-1
Severity: critical
Tags: patch
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Hi after a recent update of grub, grub fails to load the kernel.
In the autogenerated grub.cfg it searches the kernel in /boot/vm.. with this configuration the startup fails.
If i remove the /boot part it can successfull load the kernel and boots it.
