[Bug 815546] [NEW] grub-mkconfig_lib produces invalid search entries in grub.cfg

[Vit Hrachovy]

Public bug reported:

Running update-grub produces the following entries in grub.cfg:
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 3723491a-c00f-46c4-b96b-8f9f0e201def

Since linux-image-2.6.32-33-generic in Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS, this leads to:
  long delays in boot
  grub argument parsing error messages
  may reproducibly lead to failure finding a root device.

The following fix to /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib can fix the problem:
- echo "search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set ${fs_uuid}"
+echo "search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root ${fs_uuid}"
