Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080704-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
grub-pc has recently started mis-ordering my kernels...
linux-image-2.6.26.0rx00 is before linux-image-2.6.26.0rx01 (of course
rx01 is a later version)
linux-image-2.6.26.0rx00 is after linux-image-2.6.26.0mn00
(alphabetically rx is a greater version than mn)
It does the right thing with major versions, but just stops there...
Thanks,
Guido

But that's the point... m is smaller than r, so r is a *higher version* than m,
which means it should be preferred, shouldn't... Even more true for 01, 02,
etc... If I update some kernel configuration (which version was 00) and create a
01 or 02 I'd like those to be booted first, don't I? Or should I give it a lower
version to make sure it's put first?
Ciao!!
