I don't have a bug report, but I do have some feedback about grub. I think it's really great that improvements have been made and it supports many more features, file systems, etc. But I hate it. I started on Slackware 15 years ago with LILO as a boot loader and loved it. I even loved the original GRUB. It was quick and easy. I really HATE the new grub.
In the past, when I wanted to remove partitions I did not want to see in the menu, it was a simple matter of modifying one single config file and it stayed that way forever through numerous upgrades. Now, every time I get an upgrade, I have to go back through all those annoying files in /etc/grub.d and redo changes I have already made. There is probably a few options I can modify to make it stay the way I want it, but it's just a boot loader, I dont want to have to spend 2 hours reading man pages to figure out the structure of all the 00_ 05_ etc files. QUick simple easy and it works like I have come to expect from Linux is what I want. If I remove a partition from the boot menu such as my laptop manufacturers factory restore partition, changing Windows 7 to WINDOZE or removing that useless memtest stuff, I expect it to STAY THAT WAY. I am fine with new kernels adding themselves to the top of my boot menu, but I am not ok with having to go back and comment out partitions I have already removed 3 or 4 times in the past. As soon as I get some spare time, I will be removing this version of grub and going back to Lilo or the original GRUB on all of my linux machines. _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
