[Bug 436101] [NEW] GRUB 2 fails to find boot partition (by uuid)

[Stefan Nuxoll]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

GRUB 2 fails to find my EXT4 partition when booting, I have found the
problem occurs in the search command in the following menu entry:

menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-10-generic" {
	set quiet=1
	insmod ext2
	set root=(hd0,1)
	search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set f654c688-5dca-4e80-a26d-99d052d98dbc
	linux	/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-10-generic root=UUID=f654c688-5dca-4e80-a26d-99d052d98dbc ro   quiet splash
	initrd	/boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-10-generic
}

To ensure I didn't have a broken partition table or something else that
could be confusing grub, I wiped the first 16 sectors of my disk and
reinstalled only to encounter the same issue.

Additional Info:

I currently have ONE SATA hard drive with Windows 7 installed on it, ONE
PATA disk with Ubuntu karmic installed on it.  I have tried booting
karmic with only the PATA disk enabled, and once again with only the
PATA disk enabled with my disk controller set to legacy mode (in which
it only presents PATA devices).
