Package: grub Version: 0.97-47lenny2 Severity: normal File: /usr/sbin/update-grub
update-grub does not append default kernel options console=... (i.e. console=ttyS0,115200n8) to memtest86+ kernel entry (and removes it if existing, of course). I have installed memtest86+ 2.01 and set "# memtest86=true" in grubs menu.lst. Since memtest86+ has "serial support as a linux boot parameter" since 2.00, kopt console=ttyS0,115200n8 should be added to the memtest86+ kernel line when update-grub is invoked. -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/sda *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/sda2 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda5 /home ext3 rw,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda6 /data ext3 rw,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/menu.lst -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grub depends on: ii grub-common 1.96+20080724-16 GRand Unified Bootloader, version ii libc6 2.7-18lenny2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand grub recommends no packages.
