[Bug 299338] Re: grub2 taking configuration from somewhere else

[Shirish Agarwal]

The differences as I see are here :-

menu.lst shows :-

title		Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=some UUID ro 
initrd		/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
set root=(hd0,1)
search --fs-uuid --set some different UUID
menuentry "Ubuntu, linux 2.6.27-7-generic" {
	linux	/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=same UUID as given in menu.lst ro  quiet splash
	initrd	/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic
}

Now the issue is

a. Why does it set root at (hd0,1) and not (hd0,0)
b.  What is this 

search --fs-uuid --set some different UUID

Why there is some different UUID here

Obviously in both the files just from a security concern I have not put
up the UUID's which are given therein.

Output of df -h

$ df -h

/dev/sdb1             466G   71G  395G  16% /media/FreeAgent Drive

Obviously, the device where all the action should be is at :-

/dev/sda1             1.9G   48M  1.8G   3% /boot

I know I have kept much much more than ever its going to be needed but
that's another thing altogether.

If anybody needs some more info. feel free to ask the same here.
