[Bug 385021] Re: doesnt write correct uuid

[sojourner]

no when it is installed it writes the menu.lst in correct place , the
/boot/grub directory of the place it was installed from . But it writes
the uuid of the first bootable drive on the system as the drive to boot
from , when booting it finds the menu.lst ok but then attempts to boot
from the wrong drive and not finding the correct kernel , initrd  and
vmlinuz it issues a file not found error . editing the menu.lst to use
the correct uuid allows the system to boot . Note ! this was installed
from Karmic Koala and is not the error warned about for jaunty . This
may only affect systems with multiboot installs on seperate drives (or
perhaps partitions) where it is installed from a drive that is not the
first bootable drive on the system .Note 2 ! during install grub2
reported finding the other 2 Ubuntu installs on my box but did not write
the boot stanzas into the menu.lst to allow them to boot even though
those installs were in the original menu.lst that it replaced .
