I agree with below patch. I've had to deal with a few support cases where this was the end goal. Similarly, a very comparable patch was proposed to me not so long ago https://launchpadlibrarian.net/165315548/lp1012629.trusty.debdiff With essentially the same spirit -> if grub-installer/bootdev is preseeded it must be used and nothing else. I'll compare the logic of the two, but by memory, they appear equivalent to me. I'd be inclined to take the Guilhem's version as I prefer one-liners better ;-) > -8<------------------------------------------------------------------>8- > > diff -ru a/grub-installer b/grub-installer > --- a/grub-installer > +++ b/grub-installer > @@ -599,7 +599,7 @@ > exit 10 > fi > db_get $q > - if [ "$RET" = true ]; then > + if [ "$RET" = true ] && ! db_get grub-installer/bootdev; then > bootdev="$default_bootdev" > break > else > > -8<------------------------------------------------------------------>8- > Thanks a lot. -- Regards, Dimitri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
