Package: grub
Version: 0.97-40
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i
This new version of grub has a fairly major change in the way the
/boot/grub/menu.lst file is created, which has had only limited discussion
and testing.
The change could affect new installs and also has usability issues for end
users. Although it may fix some cases where grub installation or updates
now fail, it is not clear that the change is suitable for Lenny at this
stage of the release.
This BR is intended to keep the new version in unstable until the change
can be better tested and approved for inclusion in Lenny (as discussed
with Robert Millan on IRC in #d-boot).
The relevant change is:
* update-grub: Use filesystem UUIDs when available.
This results in the following changes in menu.lst files (testing the change
in VirtualBox failed, so the below was done by hand and may not be 100%
accurate):
# kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
---->
# kopt=root=UUID=50efc4c6-b493-4abf-b4b3-c5c9818eb0ef ro

Closing as I've decided not to care about the quality of Lenny anymore.
