error: You need to load the kernel first

[BU66ER BAD6ER]

Hi,

Since an upgrade of my Debian Sid a few days ago, my grub2 behaves badly and
I get the following grub boot message "error: You need to load the kernel
first".

The culprit is that grub2 insists on putting a /boot in the paths in the
grub.cfg file. I don't have more than OS and my /boot directory is also the
1st separate partition on the 1st physical harddisk. I had not changed any
hardware or any other configuration when this happened, except the aptitude
full-upgrade. It was not an upgrade from grub to grub2, as I have used grub2
since more than half a year.

This is serious, as the kernel is not started and I cannot edit any files
per se.

However, I can work around this temporarily by editing and removing /boot
from the kernel paths, using 'e' in grubeditor, and Ctrl-X for booting. But,
that doesn't survive reboot and I need to redo it at every start-up.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
