Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub2

When migrating a GRUB menu.lst to GRUB2, the UUID information for the partition is not retained. The GRUB2 menu.lst instead will translate this back into the old static partition naming (/dev/sdaX).

This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 1.96+20080203-1ubuntu1

---------------
grub2 (1.96+20080203-1ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * debian/default/grub
    - Show lsb_release rather than statically displaying "Debian" (LP: #192955)
    - Include Ubuntu specific "quiet splash" on default grub command line.
      (LP: #193024)
  * debian/patches:
    - Add 03_ubuntu_grub_standards to remove GNU/Linux from the
      default string. (LP: #192955)
    - Add 04_convert_root_uuid.diff to default to using UUIDs
      on new GRUB2 installations. (LP: #192956)
  * debian/control:
    - Update maintainer per XSBC-Original-Maintainer spec.
