Package: grub Version: 0.97-13 Severity: normal I like to build my own kernel using make-kpkg on some of the Debian systems I administrate. As I store all packages of these custom kernels in one location I name them after the machine they were built for. One of my machines is called "xenon" (after the noble gas). So the name of the kernel is e.g. vmlinuz-2.6.17-1-xenon.
This specific name renders some problems to recent versions of update-grub which also handle Xen kernels. The culprit seems to be in line 898 of /sbin/update-grub for kern in $(/bin/ls -1vr /boot | grep -v "dpkg-*" | grep -v "xen" | grep "^vmlinuz-") ; do which discards all kernels which contain the string "xen". Of course my custom built kernel for the machine "xenon" does. I admit, this is very specific to my system, but still I think this should be fixed. Let me know if I could help in any further way. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=de_CH (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB) Versions of packages grub depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand grub recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
