The debug output must be getting split somewhere.  If I replace colons
and spaces with underscores, I get some numbers.  Anyway, the
installation with the patch is unnecessary.

I made a short partition and installed grub on it, but there are no
problems with it in qemu.

But I can reproduce the problem with grub-fstest on the root partition.

address@hidden grub2]# grub-fstest /dev/sda1 ls /    
lost+found/ bin/ boot/ data/ dev/ etc/ home/ lib/ lib64/ media/ mnt/
opt/ proc/ root/ sbin/ scratchbox/ selinux/ srv/ sys/ tftpboot/ tmp/
usr/ var/ debug/ tftpboot;4834754b 
address@hidden grub2]# grub-fstest /dev/sda1 ls /boot

address@hidden grub2]# ls /   
bin   debug  home   lost+found  opt   sbin        srv
tftpboot;4834754b  var
boot  dev    lib    media       proc  scratchbox  sys       tmp
data  etc    lib64  mnt         root  selinux     tftpboot  usr
address@hidden grub2]# ls /boot
System.map                    grub                      vmlinuz
System.map-2.6.26-rc4-wl      initrd-2.6.26-rc4-wl.img
vmlinuz-2.6.26-rc4-wl
System.map-2.6.26-rc4-wl.old  memtest86+-2.01
vmlinuz-2.6.26-rc4-wl.old
address@hidden grub2]#

As you can see, "grub-fstest /dev/sda1 ls /boot" fails to find any
files.  Then I patched grub with your patch.  The output of the same
command is attached (compressed).
