Bug#584564: updating grub 1.98+20100602-1, unable to boot, "error: out of partition"

[Michael]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-61
Severity: critical
Tags: experimental
Justification: breaks the whole system

After updating grub, the new grub.cfg is generated. Upon rebooting, Grub starts, but is unable to boot any of my selected entries.

Commenting out the "search --no-floppy --f-uuid --set xxxxxxxx" line and instead relying on the "set root='(hd0,1)'" line fixed the problem in the immediate. Unfortuntaely, if I update the config, all that will be lost.

my grub.cfg modified to be bootable. See comments in the "Menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-686'" at line 62.
