[Bug 977357] [NEW] 12.04 cloud-images do not boot (no such device: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-TEMP0FS0UUID)

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

When trying to boot a recent download of cloud-images (tested on 20120409) which has installed grub-pc at  1.99-21ubuntu2, we see:
error: no such device: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-TEMP0FS0UUID.
Press any key to continue...

Pressing a key does in deed continue, and the system will boot fine, but
the issue is that now someone has to press a key.


The cloud-images build process builds into a filesystem, and replaces grub-probe and then invokes in a chroot [1]:
 grub-install --grub-setup=/bin/true /dev/sda && /usr/sbin/update-grub

Then, the contents of that chroot are copied to a filesystem in an
image, and that filesystem image turned into a booting disk via [2]

Looking at the menu entry, it looks like this:
| setparams 'Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-22-virtual'
| recordfail
| gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode
| insmod gzio
| insmod part_msdos
| insmod ext2
| set root='(hd0,1)'
| search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 00000000-0000-0000-0000-TEMP0FS0UUID
| linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-22-virtual root=LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs ro   console=ttyS0
| initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-22-virtual

It is possible that this error has  been showing up on the console for a
longer period of time than it required key press to continue.  Ie, I
would not necessarily know that.
