[Bug 444151] Re: Have to delete "search" line for system to boot

[Steven McCoy]

Same here when install 9.10 multi-boot with Windows XP.   The installer
created the following partitions:

/dev/sda1   *           1       14236   114350638+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2           14237       19457    41937682+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5           14237       19237    40170501   83  Linux
/dev/sda6           19238       19457     1767118+  82  Linux swap / Solaris

With UUIDs:

/dev/sda1: UUID="8A34BE3E34BE2CD7" TYPE="ntfs" 
/dev/sda5: UUID="c290075b-f3a3-4155-8d9c-d450d268c26a" TYPE="ext4" 
/dev/sda6: UUID="d3ba4c62-5290-4d55-88a7-88729dbf9bfa" TYPE="swap" 

Then the "search" lines in grub.cfg always fail and need to be removed,
one from 00_header gives a warning first but can be ignored, then the
10_linux entries stop the system from booting:

        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set c290075b-f3a3-4155-8d9c-
d450d268c26a

Windows XP launches fine with it's search line:

        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 8a34be3e34be2cd7
