Public bug reported: When USE_GRUB_CONFIG is set to "true" in /etc/default/kexec, reboot hangs with scrambled screen somewhere on kernel load.
This is due to incorrect parsing of /boot/grub/grub.cfg performed in /etc/init.d/kexec-load. In 12.10 grub.cfg contains submenues, which have their own 'menuentry' records. Incorrect parsing brings wrong kernel parameters (from the last record, which is 'recovery mode'). As grub.cfg is generated file, I would expect that kernel, initrd and parameters are fetched with the same algorithm that generate grub.cfg. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 $ apt-cache policy kexec-tools kexec-tools: Installed: 1:2.0.3-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:2.0.3-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:2.0.3-1ubuntu2 0 500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: kexec-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1159499 Title: kexec-load incorrectly parses grub.cfg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/1159499/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
