Package: grub-pc Version: 1.98+20100614-2 Severity: serious I had to boot from a rescue CD with an older kernel and chrooted into my /, which is /dev/hda1 for that kernel. I ran update-grub and isntall-grub.
I then rebooted and it passed "root=/dev/hda1" to the kernel. But the new kernel calls this /dev/sda1. So it failed to boot. Fixing this manually allowed me to boot. Running update-grub with the latest kernel gives me a: root=UUID=a80983a5-e4ca-4dc2-80c7-c0f5d1a1364e So I can only come to the conclusing it's doing that with recent kernels, which it shouldn't be doing. It should always use the UUID. Something also seems to be generating a /boot/grub/menu.lst yesterday, not sure why since I don't grub1 instaled anymore. And that's full of entried with root=/dev/hda1, which won't work of course. ls shows: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9228 2010-06-17 23:49:07.000000000 +0200 /boot/grub/menu.lst dpkg.log has: 2010-06-17 23:48:42 status half-configured grub-pc 1.98+20100614-2 2010-06-17 23:49:19 status installed grub-pc 1.98+20100614-2 I ran update-grub after this, and the file didn't get changed.
