I can also confirm that I have this bug. Editing out the --search part
of the boot line gives me a working system. However... I just did some
updates and part of the update was a new kernel linux-2.6.31-16-generic.
After the updates my system reboots and instead of encountering the
error listed above I now end up with just a "sh:grub>" line. If I
manually type in my boot parameters I can get the system to boot.

After playing around trying to fix that issue somehow my whole boot
record or something got hosed because eventually my system started
booting to just a "initramfs>" prompt. I tried using the Super Grub Boot
Disk to recover the MBR but it was unable to do anything to the disk
(not sure why it couldn't. Even Puppy Linux from a USB flash drive was
unable to mount the hard disk any more). I eventually gave up and
formatted the disk. Of course now that I have re-installed Mythbuntu and
grabbed all of the updates I am back to the "sh:grub>" error.

The annoying thing is Grub2 will NOT give me a menu to go to with this
error that I could simply edit to fix the offending lines. Instead I
have to manually type everything in. Not fun when you have to do it 20
times over the course of an hour trying to figure out how to fix this
issue.

I am not sure if these two issues are related or completely different
but I thought I would add it just in case. This is on two clean installs
of Mythbuntu 9.10 by the way... The first time my Mythbox was all
configured and set so you can imagine the frustration when I lost all of
that work.
