Bug#470894: grub-installer: user parameters are not added to grub.cfg for grub2

 If you, and others on this list, agree with that claim, then we can
 simply go ahead and have grub-installer edit /etc/default/grub to
 insert
 the output of user-params, on the condition that the default text -
 i.e.
 what you get if you just press enter at the boot: prompt - is
 character-for-character the same as what's in the conffile shipped in
 the grub-pc package. However, if you disagree, then I think it will be
 necessary to convert grub-pc (and I suppose the other grub-* binary
 packages) to manage /etc/default/grub using ucf. 

Now that we use ucf for it, it should be easy to implement for someone
who knows sed.
Which I don't unfortunately, so I don't know how to do it.

Should there be then a check for the version with ucf in case people
install lenny with current grub-installer to be real policy compliant?
In that case the version would be 1.96+20090611-1.

 Hello,
 
 Can you try to reproduce this with a recent image? we were doing a
 kernel updating and this can be a reason for that.

It now (Jul 29) works; I guess it was the transition.  Thanks!

Do you want the rest of the report in this thread, or shall I begin a
new report?

Any chance that the Ubuntu patch gets included in Debian's os-prober?
On Launchpad there aren't any reports open related to this.

Re: Bug#509178: installation-reports: sparc fails to boot 2.6.26: Memory Address not Aligned

2009-07-31 Thread Fer R

Hi Folks,

I've solved this trouble doing a COLD REBOOT.

It is very simple:

Turn off your server, and disconnect the power supply cable. Wait about
twice minutes and then turn on the server. Before do poweroff, I recommend
change the default load to CDROM device in order to avoid boot from Harddisk
device.
From the ok prompt:
ok setenv boot-device cdrom

and then, 
ok reset-all

When the server has loaded, in the ok prompt:
boot cdrom

When you do not need anymore boot from cdrom, reboot the server and in the
ok prompt:
ok boot disk0:a
ok reset-all


Good luck..
F R

 Hi,
 
 This might be the same bug as #509202.
 
 I'll try to setup cu or minicom to collect kernel messages on tuesday,
 while I am at the university again.
 
 FWIW, the boot fails in the same way with
 http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/lenny_di_rc1/sparc/iso-cd/debian-testing-sparc-netinst.iso
 , built on 20081104-23:58 :
 
  Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x4000 for kernel
  Loaded kernel version 2.6.26
  Loading initial ramdisk (4284688 bytes at 
  Memory Address not Aligned
 
 I'll try to get it to boot with the latest etch kernel on tuesday.
 
 Thanks, Bye,
 
 Joost
