Package: grub-pc and grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100804-14
I have Debian(Squeeze, wheezy,sid) and Mandriva 2010.2 on my desktop
.Since the bootloader in Mandriva is still the grub legacy ,
I decide to use the grub2 (shipped with Debian Squeeze) to
automatically probe other OSs and boot them .However it failed to boot
the Mandriva 2010.2 and others(Squeeze and wheezy,sid) is fine.
$update-grub
Generating grub.cfg ...

I check it out that it is the grub.cfg that matters .
below is the slice of grub.cfg :
menuentry "linux (on /dev/sda12)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos12)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 400983b6-97a0-4930-a1c6-e2310057ce21
linux /boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux
root=UUID=400983b6-97a0-4930-a1c6-e2310057ce21
resume=UUID=65c3d3e5-a0a8-4d7b-88c0-c93cf16d867d splash=silent vga=788
initrd (hd0,11)/boot/initrd.img
}
the "set root" line is ok (Mandriva is in /dev/sda12 ),but
the "initrd " line is wrong , it adds (hd0,11) before /boot/initrd.img
which is verbose and wrong . I think it should be " initrd
/boot/initrd.img ".
In case of something I get wrong ,I put the grub.cfg here
(https://gist.github.com/838220)
I'm using Debian Squeeze (stable),kernel 2.6.32-5-686.
