[Bug 299338] Re: grub2 taking configuration from somewhere else

[Chris Halse Rogers]

What do you mean by "not booting the way it boots from menu.lst"?  What
exactly is different?  In particular, does grub-pc *work* - as in: does
it successfully load Ubuntu?

Grub2 doesn't use menu.lst; it does have its own configuration.

As to your other questions:
*) It sets root=(hd0,1) because grub2 starts partition numbering at 1, not 0
*) The "search --fs-uuid --set" line is searching for your /boot partition by UUID, and setting it to the root if it finds it.

The only influence the bootloader has on the usplash theme is (a)
whether it's on or not, and (b) the root partition that you're booting
from.  Since you've set menu.lst to not show the splash, it obviously
won't be shown under grub legacy.  You haven't disabled the splash under
grub2, so the usplash will be shown.

Finally; I don't think the UUIDs of your drives are a particular
concern, but the UUID of your root drive is still in the menu.lst you
posted.  And the UUID of your / partition is in grub.cfg.
