[Bug 1026358] [NEW] update-grub fails to find linux system

[keepitsimpleengr]

Public bug reported:

After updating grub (sudo update-grub) from xubuntu 12.04 (Linux
3.2.0-26-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 14 17:49:24 UTC 2012 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) on sdd to allow another system with a new
kernel on another disk (sdg) to be booted, the boot menu ommitted the
system on sdg.

This is new behavior.  Prior update-grub  executions listed the system
on sdd.
