Package: grub2 Version: 1.95+20080128-1 Severity: normal update-grub sets my root partition to (hd1,0), however when grub boot it seems to always consider the booting disk as (hd0). device.map files maps my sda disk to hd1, this seems to be the cause of the problem. Now, when booting grub fails to load the font file for gfxterm and the background image, leaving me with a pinkish screen with no visible text making it impossible to even boot manually. I've to use a livecd and change hd1 to hd0 in order to boot again.
