Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
I am still using grub 1, version 0.97-29ubuntu59.
This problem occurred with both Mythbuntu 9.04, & newly installed 9.10.
I have the following partitions:
hd0,0 37GB for a backup/test Mythbuntu system (currently 9.04); boot flag is
here.
hd0,1 37GB for the live Mythbuntu system (currently 9.10); this has the mount
point "/" assigned.
hd0,2 200 MB; linux swap
hd1,0 300 GB; Myth recordings & videos; this has the mount point "/mnt.mythtv"
assigned.
hd2,0 930 GB; Myth recordings & videos; this has the mount point "/mnt.mythtv2"
assigned.
Whenever the system is updated with a new kernel, & the install program
generates a new menu.lst, the menu.lst shows root (hd2, 0 ), instead of
(hd0,1) for the menu lines "root".
I am not sure whether it gets the right UUID for the menu lines
beginning "kernel", as it is a while since I allowed automatic creation
of menu.lst. However, I think that it does.
Also, it never creates an entry for the back-up system on (hd0,0).
My usual solution is to refuse to allow the automatic creation of
menu.lst
Thanks for your help, Garry.
