Bug#558306: grub-pc: incorrect path to vmlinuz

[Vincent Bernat]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97+20091125-1
Severity: important

Hi!

Since upgrade to latest grub, update-grub generates this:

linux   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-1-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/debian-root ro  quiet

I have a /boot partition and therefore, it should be:

linux   /vmlinuz-2.6.30-1-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/debian-root ro  quiet

Grub then complains with some mystic error like "you need to load
kernel first". I think the problem appeared in 1.97+20091125-1 but
maybe it was present in 20091124.
