Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. This was reported against a very old release so I'm going to close it.

[Bug 442631] Re: update-grub generates an incorrect entry
Just tested. Karmic on sda5 with /boot/grub/grub.cfg F12 on sda6 with /boot on sda9 update-grub created for F12: set root=(hd0,9) search ... UUID_of_sda9 linux /vmlinuz... root=/dev/sda6 Problem solved. Thanks. However, the initrd line is not created. I also have CentOS on this box and its menuentry does not have an initrd line either. Could it be because Fedora and CentOS' initrd names are initramfs-kernel.img and initrd-kernel.img respectively as opposed to those of Debian and Ubuntu, which are initrd.img-kernel? Should I open a separate report for the initrd issue? -- update-grub generates an incorrect entry https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442631 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 442631] Re: update-grub generates an incorrect entry
Please check if this still happens with newest grub2. At least that it still appends /boot/ if you have a seperate /boot partition should be fixed now in karmic. -- update-grub generates an incorrect entry https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442631 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 442631] Re: update-grub generates an incorrect entry
Just checking this report and noticed that my email to HankB was cut off. End of email: Ubuntu 9.04 (from 40_custom) and boot from Jaunty on /dev/sda6. One more thought (if you have enough space on /dev/sda6). You could boot into Karmic, mount the two Jaunty partitions to, eg, /mnt/sda5 and /mnt/sda6, cp -a the files and directories in /mnt/sda5 to /mnt/sda6/boot, and comment out/remove the entry of /boot in /mnt/sda6/etc/fstab. When you run update-grub, 30_osprober should create a correct entry for Jaunty; and you will not need the entry in 40_custom (it would not longer work anyway). -- update-grub generates an incorrect entry https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442631 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please see my thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8063611#post8063611 to determine if this is the same bug. It caught my eye because I was running Jaunty with a /boot partition and installation of the Karmic beta with grub2 left my Jaunty install unbootable. (I have not figured out what to change to fix it.) thanks, hank -- update-grub generates an incorrect entry https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442631 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

running Jaunty with a /boot partition and installation of the Karmic

out what to change to fix it.)
Please add an entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom by using a modified 9.04
/boot/grub/grub.cfg entry.
Change:
menuentry Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-15-generic (on /dev/sda6) {
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,6)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 7f69072f-cea2-4ec3-bde9-81dd16744034
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic
root=UUID=7f69072f-cea2-4ec3-bde9-81dd16744034 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic
}
To:
menuentry Ubuntu 9.04 (from 40_custom) {
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,5)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 9bdeb391-8fd9-48b1-9316-c4a00b7fa7a2
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic
root=UUID=7f69072f-cea2-4ec3-bde9-81dd16744034 ro quiet splash
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic
}
Then run update-grub and reboot. You should be able to choose
