Bug Description

When linux-boot-prober is invoked with /dev/mapper/VOLUMEGROUP-VOLUME2 from a linux root partition on /dev/mapper/VOLUMEGROUP-VOLUME1 the last field returned has "root=/dev/mapper/VOLUMEGROUP-VOLUME1 ro recovery nomodeset" while the first field (the requested root partition) is "/dev/mapper/VOLUMEGROUP-VOLUME2"

This has been the case for many years... Currently on
1. Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
2. os-prober 1.70ubuntu3
3. It should have root=/dev/mapper/VOLUMEGROUP-VOLUME2
4. It now returns root=/dev/mapper/VOLUMEGROUP-VOLUME1
