The other one is not in GRUB. Which if we add to the TWO DIFFERENT BUGS we additionally have in #484228, makes for real fun to deal with. To summarize for the casual reader: A- The one reported by Remi Vanicat was about working around #484297 in udev, and was fixed. B- The one _you_ reported are actually two different new bugs. C- The one reported by Nathan A. Stine is a problem specific to people building custom Linux images, which has different severity and is fixed upstream. Since A is fixed, B1 is fixed, and B2 is not in GRUB (please report, probably belongs to initramfs-tools), let us say that #484228 is about C now. Do not add _anything_ new to this bug unless it's really about C. File a separate bug if you must. And btw, I would really appreciate if you people would stop recycling random bugs. Every minute I spend sorting out this kind of mess is time I don't spend fixing the actual problems.
