If I'm reading you correctly, then I'm unable to reproduce this. That is, if you're saying that having the keystatus check in grub.cfg depends on another OS being found by os-prober, it's not what I'm seeing in my setup: here, os-prober *does* incorporate the keystatus check into grub.cfg despite Karmic being the only OS present. But do correct me if I'm reading you wrong.
There's another issue though, the keypress not getting picked up by grub despite it being present in the config: Bug #425979 (which is why I was curious about whether I could reproduce this one). -- grub-pc keystatus check https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502138 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
