[Bug 77493] grub menu.lst bootprefix parameter not working

[Sridhar Dhanapalan]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub

Installing kubuntu-grub-splashimages on my Edgy system modified my
/boot/grub/menu.lst file to include the line:

splashimage=(hd0,3)${BOOTPREFIX}/grub/splashimages/KUBUNTU_splashscreen_blue_neon_logo_03.xpm.gz

The next time I boot, I get an "unable to read splash image" error.

The simple way to fix the problem is to replace '${BOOTPREFIX}' with
'/boot':

splashimage=(hd0,3)/boot/grub/splashimages/KUBUNTU_splashscreen_blue_neon_logo_03.xpm.gz

** Affects: kubuntu-grub-splashimages (Ubuntu)
