I've been added a new branch (lp:~guadalinex-
members/grub/fix_splashimage_uuid_by_groot) where I've integrated the
previous patch on the current (0.97-29ubuntu51) package.
This will fix the problem for those cases where the user, after put a splash
image on /boot/grub/ run update-grub so the /boot/grub/menu.lst is regenerated
and finish the splash image installation.
With the current official package the update-grub will attach the device's UUID
identificator as a prefix to the image path, but Grub doesn't understand for
that stanza that kind of path, just the grub device format or a relative path
to a root device previously set.
For that reason in this patch we set the 'root' stanza before defining
the 'splashimage_path' variable and then we remove the 'grub root
device' from that path. But just in those cases where the 'grub root
device' is an UUID value. Which actually will happen in all cases in
Ubuntu since we move to UUID identificators instead Grub or Linux
formats for the devices.
