because zsh completion system has been here for years when the bash

Chmouel,

Can you forward the following also to the Cooker mailing list, because
for
several weeks I have not been able to post a single thing there. It's sad
:-/

I found several strange things in the grub code.
(And yes, I applied both the memcpy and gcc patches)

I inserted in my grub/main.c the following (debug) statements:
[...]
case OPT_DEVICE_MAP:
  device_map_file = strdup (optarg);
  fprintf(stderr, "JvS in grub/main.c. We found a device_map file, 
optarg=%s\n", optarg);
  fprintf(stderr, "JvS in grub/main.c. and the device_map_file=%s\n", 
device_map_file);
  break;
[..]

And this is what happens:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] grub-0.93]$ grub/grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map
JvS in grub/main.c. We found a device_map file,
optarg=/boot/grub/device.map
JvS in grub/main.c. and the device_map_file=(null)

And this shows that strdup() does not work as advertised!

using debug statements I determined that the actual segmentation fault 
occurs within a system call to realpath() 
in function init_device_map() at line 553 of lib/device.c

(realpath() tries to find the real path for /dev/discs/disc0 by following 
the symlinks)

So there seems to be a problem with the use of standard system libraries
from grub.

I was not able to correct the problems.

I hope this analysis helps.
 
John

i don't think it's a problem with DrakX the kheader script and the

ifconfig whatmodule => load_module("whatmodule")

titi may know that. 
The first time when i had to make this script i merged with the Debian
script and took some (to don't say most) stuff straight "as is" from
them.

the solution would be the merge the debian script, or completely merge
sound and alsa together (it should not be that hard) or try what
Svetoslav purpose to up/backport from suse to have backward
compatibility.
