Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub2
I set up my computer with a separate boot partition on /dev/sda1 (in the
hopes of speeding my boot) mounted as /boot. However, the grub.conf
created by update-grub refers to files relative to the root parition
(/dev/sda8 on my system). For instance, line 9 states
if [ -s /boot/grub/grubenv ]; then
have_grubenv=true
load_env
fi
the problem is, on the boot partition grub2 boots from, the file is
properly refered to as /grub/grubenv. Thus grub fails to think it has a
grubenv. I should note that grub2 actually properly deals with the
partition internally. Or at least if I comment out the if statement,
leaving
#if [ -s /boot/grub/grubenv ]; then
have_grubenv=true
load_env
#fi
Things work as they should. (at least as far as my default boot entries
are concerned). So the problem really lies in /etc/grub.d/00_header,
where the if statement is generated. But a similar issue might be in
other /etc/grub.d files as well.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, and grub2 1.97~beta4-1ubuntu4.1.
