When reporting bugs it is important to be very specific.  "It does not
work" is not a description that can be diagnosed.  Please describe in
detail what happened when you tried to choose the default option.

Title:
  [GRUB2.00] 'Ubuntu' entry fails but equivalent in the 'Advanced
  options for Ubuntu' succeeds

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  See http://askubuntu.com/questions/196287

  Reporter says the 'Ubuntu' entry fails, but the  'Ubuntu, with Linux
  3.5.4-030504-generic' entry succeeds.

  When looking at the grub.cfg, the 2 entries look identical:

  
  menuentry 'Ubuntu' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-0ddb4962-59eb-4376-83cf-016ef186e083' {
  recordfail
  	gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode
  	insmod gzio
  	insmod part_gpt
  	insmod ext2
  	set root='hd0,gpt2'
  	if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
  	  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,gpt2 --hint-efi=hd0,gpt2 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt2  0ddb4962-59eb-4376-83cf-016ef186e083
  	else
  	  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 0ddb4962-59eb-4376-83cf-016ef186e083
  	fi
  	linux	/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.4-030504-generic root=UUID=0ddb4962-59eb-4376-83cf-016ef186e083 ro   quiet splash $vt_handoff
  	initrd	/boot/initrd.img-3.5.4-030504-generic
  }
  submenu 'Advanced options for Ubuntu' $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-advanced-0ddb4962-59eb-4376-83cf-016ef186e083' {
