The doubleslash is merely a distraction.  I fixed it in upstream, but I don't
think it's the cause of your problem.

I see that Felix suspects this is a false positive when checking for cross-disk
install.  If you run "sh -x grub-install" and send us the output, we could
make sure about that.

HOWEVER, even if it's a false positive, the UUID boot path is supposed to work;
So please check the 32-bit (actually 16-byte) code you mentioned above.  Is it
the same as deed8901-3bdc-4912-a2c3-cff34ddeb147 ?

Thanks
