Bug#567049: make_system_path_relative_to_its_root works for me...

[Anthony DeRobertis]

Package: grub-common
Severity: normal

[I am not the maintainer]

anthony at Tao:~$ ls -l /boot/grub/grub.cfg 
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 2709 2010-01-12 16:25 /boot/grub/grub.cfg

anthony at Tao:~$ uptime
 18:19:03 up 2 days,  5:00, 43 users,  load average: 0.27, 0.39, 0.34

So, I've booted with my current grub config, which has paths justs like
the submitter's:

anthony at Tao:~$ grep // /boot/grub/grub.cfg 
        linux   //vmlinuz-2.6.32-trunk-686 root=/dev/md2 ro  enable_mtrr_cleanup
        initrd  //initrd.img-2.6.32-trunk-686
        linux   //vmlinuz-2.6.31-1-686 root=/dev/md2 ro  enable_mtrr_cleanup
        initrd  //initrd.img-2.6.31-1-686

The // is weird; it really should just be /. The only reason /boot/
works in front is because of /boot/boot being a symlink to .

Are you /sure/ your /boot is on a different partition?
