[Bug 393670] [NEW] os-prober parses menu.lst incorrectly with '=' instead of space after 'title'

[Peter Husen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

update-grub correctly found out that I have a Gentoo installation on
another partition, but it created a menu entry with the correct initrd,
but using memtest86.bin as the kernel. I believe this is due to the
script /usr/lib/linux-boot-probes/mounted/40grub only recognizing a
title-line, if 'title' is followed by a space, whereas my menu.lst had
lines like 'title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.27', so the constructed entry ended
up being a mixture of menu entries.
