Bug Description

I had to create a symbolic link for GRUB to load the config file. Before, I had to type in "configfile (hd1,0)/grub/menu.lst every time for the menu to load.

I have a dual-boot system (XP, Linux) on seperate hard drives. GRUB stage1 is loaded by NTLDR.

I found I needed to do this ( ln -s . /boot/boot ) today, after upgrading my kernel via synaptic to linux-image-2.6.12.10-amd64-generic (2.6.12-10.32). I found this a little disturbing, because I didn't need this before. My /boot is a separate partition with / on LVM (which was set up for me by the Breezy installer).
