Bug Description
- Regression since latest grub2 updates on Precise Beta
- Observed on 2 different machines.
- Grub doesn't recognize the presence of other Linux distros on same machine anymore (it was working perfectly before) (There's a Mint /boot on /dev/sda6 here).
- OTOH it identifies FreeBSD, which it didn't automagically do before...
Grub now spits "no such disk" error that I had never seen before.
Example:
$ sudo update-grub
[sudo] password......:
Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.
