[Bug 354176] [NEW] Updating from grub -> grub-pc does not properly write out a transition menu.lst

[Mario Limonciello]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

Version: 1.96+20080724-12ubuntu2

When installing grub-pc, the postinst goes and rewrites out your
/boot/grub/menu.lst in preparation for chainloading into grub2.
Unfortunately, this doesn't do the trick properly because the menu.lst
doesn't boot into grub2 or back into the OS properly since it doesn't
account for UUIDs as it should.

The attached patch should allow the menu.lst to be properly written out.
Unfortunately, it does not account for the case where someone may have
defined a grub root device.
