Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090702-1
Severity: important
After running update-grub with the version listed above, I find menu entries
like the following example:
menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, Linux 2.6.30.014" {
set root=(hd0,2)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 234cc6d9-e0ef-4105-b817-f1c83edbc1a2
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.30.014 root=/dev/sda5 ro vga=792 selinux=0
enforcing=0 resume=/dev/sda3 clocksource=hpet quiet
}
When I attempt to boot this entry, I get
Unknown argument "--no-floppy"
I can make it boot again if I edit the entry and remove --no-floppy.

We have a debconf prompt for this already since 1.96+20090401-1.
If you already saw it and want to see it again you'd need to run
`dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc'
