[Bug 61108] GRUB's menu.lst modified in wrong way -> Error 15 File not found on next reboot

[vachun]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-26-amd64-generic

When linux is not on first partition on first hd, it doesn't boot after
this kernel update ( linux-
image-2.6.15-26-amd64-generic_2.6.15-26.47_amd64.deb ) because all grub
entries are 'patched' to point to (hd0,0) and /dev/hda1

It was verified on 2 machines:
1) original menu lst entry

title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-amd64-generic
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-amd64-generic root=/dev/sda2 ro quiet splash
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-amd64-generic
savedefault
boot

after upgrade:

title           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-amd64-generic
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-amd64-generic root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-amd64-generic
savedefault
boot

the second machine has (hd0,5) replaced with (hd0,0) and /dev/hda6 with
/dev/hda1

It was nightmare, because it lock out one of our customer's server
Friday evening and we should make 300km trip in order to fix things up
:-(
