[Bug 1017542] Re: grub2 update-grub puts wrong UUID in grub.cfg for system with separate /, /boot partitions when detected by os-prober

[keepitsimpleengr]

This was a problem with BIOS changing disk mounting locations, added hardware and an os-prober problem that has apparently been fixed ( the later version available in archlinux worked).
This bug should be closed.

** Changed in: os-prober (Ubuntu)

Title:
  grub2 update-grub puts wrong UUID in grub.cfg for system with separate
  /, /boot  partitions when detected by os-prober

Status in “os-prober” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  It is putting in the UUID for the boot partition and not the / (root)
  partition.

  It's grub2 (1.99-21ubuntu3.1) on Xubuntu 12.04.

   I ran Boot Info Script 0.60, results are attached⋯

  The system not booting is on /dev/sdh.  The booting disk, Xubuntu
  12.04, is /dev/sdb.

  sdh2/etc/fstab is at line 1073.

  The incorrect UUIDs are at line 945 and 954.

  "blkid" putput is at line 318.

  It is putting the UUID for "boot" versus "root" in boot.cfg, line 937.

  I have noticed that the relationship between physical drives and names
  in /dev vary depending on which system is booted.
