Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
When running /sbin/update-grub, it errors out when /sbin is not in the PATH
properly:
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin sudo /sbin/update-grub
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
/usr/sbin/update-grub: line 86: findfs: command not found
Cannot determine root device. Assuming /dev/hda1
This error is probably caused by an invalid /etc/fstab
/usr/sbin/update-grub: line 86: findfs: command not found
Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default
Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst
Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-generic
Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin
Replacing config file /var/run/grub/menu.lst with new version
Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done
Adding in /sbin to the PATH it works fine:
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin sudo /sbin/update-grub
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Searching for default file ... found: /boot/grub/default
