Title:
  Grub2 update makes partition unbootable

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2


  This morning Grub(2) was updated by update-manager. Afterwards I found my
  Debian Squeeze installation on hda2 would not boot. I looked at grub.cfg,
  and found the new grub had changed references to hda2 (or sda2 in Ubuntu-talk)
  to those dreaded UUID's.
  Problem is Debian won't boot now.

  This is what apt-cache policy grub2 says:

  frank at frank-desktop:~$ apt-cache policy grub2
  grub2:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 1.98-1ubuntu5
    Version table:
       1.98-1ubuntu5 0
          500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages

  Which is strange because grub2 is installed.
