Thinking a bit more, in the vast majority of times, $root variable is initially defined to the drive that contains the filesystem we want. Partition might be wrong, but then again partition numbers are persistent. Maybe our problem can be solved by making grub-mkconfig a bit smarter, so that UUIDs are only used when /boot partition is in a different drive that the one we embed core.img to. -- Robert Millan "Be the change you want to see in the world" -- Gandhi _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
