Title:
  grub-mkconfig_lib produces invalid search entries in grub.cfg

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Running update-grub produces the following entries in grub.cfg:
  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 3723491a-c00f-46c4-b96b-8f9f0e201def

  Since linux-image-2.6.32-33-generic in Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS, this leads to:
    long delays in boot
    grub argument parsing error messages
    may reproducibly lead to failure finding a root device.

  The following fix to /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib can fix the problem:
  - echo "search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set ${fs_uuid}"
  +echo "search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root ${fs_uuid}"
