Bug Description

Binary package hint: gksu

straightforward jaunty install (with RAID10 and LVM).
immediate upgrade to grub-pc

chainload grub2 and ALL of my old grub lines fails with error 15.
this is due to an extra line: "root" followed by the correct UUID.
removing this line allows booting and chainloading grub2.

not sure if this would have failed rebooting if I had not installed grub-pc.

looks like the grub2 upgrade replaced all my "uuid UUIDUUIDUUID" lines with "root UUIDUUIDUUID..." lines in the grub 1 conf.

seems rather a grub2 issue than a gksu one

affects: gksu (Ubuntu) → grub2 (Ubuntu)
