(Get the code!)
Binary package hint: grub
The update-grub script always uses the absolute path for the kernel and initrd filenames. This results in invalid pathnames for the kernel and initrds when /boot is on a separate volume than the / volume. I am working on a patch, but the code in update-grub is a little crazy.
I would like to have this fix in for Intrepid since my Dell 1420 laptop shipped with this partition configuration, and this problem could bite all the folks trying to upgrade to the Intrepid.
