[Bug 347790] [NEW] Splash image not shown when using device UUID as root

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Daniel Holbach (dholbach):

I have checked that grub is not showing the splash image when an UUID root is used, which seems the default way 'update-grub' configures 'splashimage' variable in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
An example of a non-working 'splashimage':

splashimage=6f421c1a-1903-4f7e-991a-3667a1299609/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

Although, using old root notation works. In my case:

splashimage=(hd0,4)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

I have tried using the UUID in 'groot' variable (which is filled right
but commented by default) and letting 'splashimage' just containing the
image path and it works aswell.

We are using near the latest version of grub from jaunty:

* grub 0.97-29ubuntu50
* grub-common 1.96+20080724-12ubuntu2
