Follow-up Comment #1, bug #28642 (project grub):
That behaviour is caused by a bug in the export behaviour. Therefore the
essential variables root and prefix are not properly exported all the time.
It's fixed as of revision 1951.
You can workaround it by always exporting prefix and root like
Follow-up Comment #2, bug #28642 (project grub):
Thanks for clarifications. I was unaware about export command.
For now I will use it, as it is a bit uncomfortable for me now to use trunk
branch in production environment. Will the fixes from the r1951 go to next
stable release?
Follow-up Comment #3, bug #28642 (project grub):
Hmm, still no success:
sh:grub set prefix=(hd0,5)/boot/grub
sh:grub export prefix
sh:grub configfile (hd0,5)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
sh:grub set prefix=(hd0,5)/boot/grub
sh:grub export prefix
sh:grub configfile (hd0,5)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
sh:grub set
Follow-up Comment #4, bug #28642 (project grub):
Figured it out!
Main point is that it looks like that:
a) export statement should be specified before the set statement for that
variable;
b) export statement should be supplied no matter is the variable set or not
in current configfile context.
