Note that when not on a loopinstallation, I am setting: default_kopt="root=$root_device ro"
When in the original code it used to be kopt="root=$(awk '$2 == "/" {print $1}' /etc/fstab) ro" My understanding is that using $root_device is safer, since it comes from find_root_device which also parses fstab but is more robust than the awk command (+ handles LABEL and UUID). Strangely enough kopt_2_6, differently from kopt, did already use $root_device as opposed to the awk code. -- Update-grub does not set kopt correctly in loopinstallations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175772 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
