Changes by: Dr. Tilmann Bubeck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2002-Nov-22 21:19 (Europe/Berlin) ------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ---------------------------- I like the patch, because any information from within a boot loader is interesting and could be useful. If a system is in a critical stage (does not boot anymore), ANY information is probably welcome. Apart from that, why not? Do we have a memory or disk limit? =================== BUG #567: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT =================== Submitted by: hno Project: GNU GRUB Submitted on: 2002-Jun-09 17:35 Category: User Interface Severity: Major Priority: None Bug Group: Feature Request Resolution: None Assigned to: None Status: Open Release: CVS Reproducibility: None Planned Release: Summary: Print loaded Linux kernel version Original Submission: It would be nice if the loaded Linux kernel version was printed in the kernel blurb. Patch suggestion attached. grub> kernel /vmlinuz [Linux-bzImage 2.4.18-3 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) #1 Thu Apr 18 07:3 7:53 EDT 2002, setup=0x1400, size=0xfa203] The patch also moves the printout of the kernel blurb before the zImage validation, allowing one to see what it was that did not fit..

Do we have a memory or disk limit? ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2002-Sep-13 07:04 By: okuji I don't see why it is so useful, because I always name kernel images with version numbers. Also, I feel it too verbose. Of course, that's my subjectivity. So I don't object, if many people agree with you. Thanks, Okuji ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2002-Sep-11 17:49 By: hno No comments on this one? Still using it and find it quite helpful when dealing with different kernel versions etc..
