Bug#947732: /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: Update-grub puts kernels in wrong order on another partition.

Frank McCormick beacon at videotron.ca

Package: grub-common
Version: 2.04-5
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig

I have two distros on my machine Debian and Fedora. If the Debian-version of
Grub is installed, then update-grub finds all kernels on both partitions,
but in the case of Fedora, it lists the kernels in wrong order, putting
the recovery option first, then the oldest kernel, followed by the newest
kernel.

The Fedora version of grub doesn't do this, it will list kernels belong to
Fedora and Debian in
proper order.

In both cases, grub is installed to the root of /dev/sda , Debian is in
/dev/sda5,
Fedora is in /dev/sda6
