Bug Description
30-otheros makes up stanzas for the other os's referring to their partition making use of the notation root=/dev/sdxx instead of root=UUID=
this is a real problem with os which still use /dev/hdxx for partitions contained in ide disks
thanks

This bug was fixed in the package grub-installer - 1.43ubuntu2
---------------
grub-installer (1.43ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low
* Explicitly install os-prober when using GRUB 2, since it does a better
job than the otheros script (LP: #433259).
