[Bug 281100] Re: update-grub needs to support the new uuid command.
I encountered a problem with it : it breaks compatibility with real legacy grub. My grub is installed in (hd0), with its stages and a simple menu.lst (attached) kept appart from any distribution. As I did not use chain-loading, but only configfile instead, it was failing to boot (uuid myuuid not understood and skipped by my grub). However, this patch is somehow important as it could also fix once for all the old/historical errata entry in Debian (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata.en.html : Disk devices may change on reboot). It breaks full compatibility, and as Grub legacy is no longer being officially developed, I believe an effort should be made to merge it with other distributions. ** Attachment added: choix.lst http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20631273/choix.lst -- update-grub needs to support the new uuid command. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281100 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 281100] Re: update-grub needs to support the new uuid command.
This looks fine, although if there's the slightest whiff of a regression we'll need to guard it with an environment variable and use it only for USB installs. -- update-grub needs to support the new uuid command. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281100 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
