--- Begin Message ---Package: gnome-system-tools Version: 1.2.0-1 Severity: normal Tags: experimental Boot-admin seems to be /very/ experimental. Even though the doc claims to support GNU/Hurd style booting, boot-admin fails to recognize an existing GNU/Hurd boot stanza. The properties dialogue provides only space for a single module. GNU/Hurd needs two of them and both modules need to be passed arguments, else Hurd will not boot. BTW: Other multiboot compliant OSes like VSTa or Syllable use even more modules than Hurd. So boot-admin should support any number of modules plus individual command line parameters for each of them. Furthermore, boot-admin fails to recognize certain chainloader commands: I boot ReactOS through title ReactOS root (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader /bootsect.ros # This is where ReactOS puts its bootsector if #it detects an installed NT/XP savedefault boot-admin seems to know only the frequently used "chainloader +1" and fails to understand "chainloader /somefile". Consequently, clicking on "Properties" and then on OK. will destroy the configuration, replacing it with: title ReactOS rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 Note that boot-admin has also silently omitted the "savedefault" line. Further, boot-admin has completely fucked up the VSTa and GNU/Hurd boot configuration. This was before: title Debian GNU/Hurd 0.3 pre savedefault root (hd0,8) kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd0s9 module /hurd/ext2fs.static --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} --host-priv-port=${host-port} --device-master-port=${device-port} --exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root} $(task-create) $(task-resume) module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create) This after: title Debian GNU/Hurd 0.3 pre root (hd0,8) kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd0s9 module /hurd/ext2fs.static This was before: title VSTa 1.6.8 savedefault root (hd0,0) kernel /vsta/boot/vsta module /vsta/boot/cons module /vsta/boot/namer module /vsta/boot/wd d0:readp module /vsta/boot/dos -d //disk/wd:wd0_dos0 -n fs/root module /vsta/boot/init This after: title VSTa 1.6.8 root (hd0,0) kernel /vsta/boot/vsta module /vsta/boot/cons Please not that I did NOT touch the boot configs for those two OS in boot-admin. I simply clicked on "properties" and then chose "cancel". However, when you click on O.K. in the main menu, boot-admin will apparantly rewrite the whole menu.lst, regardless of whether you actually modified anything. Fortunately it did not destroy those bits before ### BEGIN AUTOMATIC KERNELS LIST I.e. the comments that are needed to make Debian's update-grub command work were left intact. However, all comments following ### END AUTOMATIC KERNELS LIST were silently deleted. Well, it its current shape this tool is /dangerous/. І don't know if it is realistic to expect the upstream developers to implement the full command syntax that grub offers. If they choose not to do so, they should at least try to make their tool stay away from entries that it does not understand. If it encounters such, it should at least WARN before doing something potentially dangerous like throwing aways existing command lines, giving full details about what it intends to do.
