Package: grub-installer Severity: minor
I have installed Debian a number of times to a USB stick with today's daily image from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/current/i386/iso-cd/ An install was done with either no network connection or with the kernel parameter 'recommends=false'. /etc/grub.d/30_otheros is created with a typical 'search' line like so: search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set cb83bfa2-57b7-4312-abb1-b0fc2fb7588a GRUB was installed either to the MBR of the stick or the MBR of /dev/sda. In both cases, choosing to boot an OS on /dev/sda produces error: no argument specified. Press any key to continue. Waiting for 10 seconds or pressing a key allows the boot to proceed. There is no error message when --set is altered to --set=root in the line above. --set=root is already in the 'search' line for the OS on the USB stick and used when os-prober is installed and run from it with update-grub. Would it not be consistent to have it also in 30_otheros? The syslog for one install is attached. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
