Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub2

I've got Win7, Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid and Mandriva 2010.
The entry for windows works fine but not the one for Mandriva:

menuentry "linux (on /dev/sda2)" {
        insmod ext2
        set root='(hd0,2)'
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 7687c855-7c33-4773-b4ac-40d44a738d01
        linux /boot/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=linux root=UUID=7687c855-7c33-4773-b4ac-40d44a738d01 resume=UUID=2485af6c-e0ed-47a8-80ca-6a2bb47a2bdb splash=silent vga=788
        initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.img
}

as you can see the line: initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.img is wrong, it should be:
 initrd (hd0,2)/boot/initrd.img

This bug is also valid for Ubuntu 9.04

Thanks for fixing it.

David
