Not sure that's the same/only problem - the grub commands in your report
produce hd without trailing 0 here, even though the ofpathname output is
identical. But the generated search commands still don't work nor seem
necessary at boot time.

Ah right, I think I tried this before, but the

set root=(hd,5)

commands generated by the same line turned out to be necessary here.
