I, too, have a fresh install of 10.10 with all the updates... And I see the same behavior as well.
In my case, I have a /boot partition (/dev/sda3) and two RAID-1 partitions containing 10.04 (/dev/md8) and 10.10 (/dev/md9). It will boot as expected to 10.10 (which was installed after 10.04), but /boot/grub/grub.cfg lists the UUID for the root of 10.10 for all the entries, both 10.10 and 10.04, making it not possible to boot 10.04 (without manually editing the grub.cfg file). This is a pain, obviously, because every update that rebuilds grub.cfg undoes my edits. Bug 392836 reported this problem for Karmic, but it was not fixed (then). Bug 462961 re-reported it, and Martin Pitt apparently came up with a patched update-grub that fixed it -- that patch was added to 'proposed packages' (Comment #17), but it doesn't look like it ended up in subsequent builds/versions. (Or it regressed.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551790 Title: lucid update-grub wrong root=UUID= -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
