Package: grub-pc

Version: 1.99-14
Severity: normal

Hi,

I've upgraded grub and everything fell apart. So while trying to
repair things I noticed that some things have changed in the grub.cfg
since I last modified my manual entries. For example:

        search --fs-uuid --set 53ba4590-c8ce-45f0-a4dd-b9de993a9264

should now be:

        search --fs-uuid --set=root 53ba4590-c8ce-45f0-a4dd-b9de993a9264

Also the "mdraid" module is now "mdraid09" for 0.90 metadata or
mdraid1x for the others.

Please check the grub.cfg on update to see if there are manual entries
that need to be updated by the admin.

MfG
	Goswin
