update-grub as far as I can see has actually a problem when calling
grub-set-default, it does not inform the root-directory parameter, please
take a look at bug #412334 for an example. It means that update-grub does not
try to find the root-directory and surely inform it, the script tries to find
the grub-root-directory not the root-directory so update-grub cant inform it
of course. My change is to make grub-set-default find the grub-root-directory
in another way if root-directory is not informed.
I attached a patch to the quoted bug and will attach it here again for tests,
could you apply the patch and see how it works?
Thanks
