Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080724-14
Tags: patch
While upgrading from grub (v1) to grub-pc (v2) the debconf script
(grub-pc.config) tries to migrate existing kopt arguments from
/boot/grub/menu.lst.
In my case kopt looked like this:
kopt=root=/dev/sda2 resume=/dev/sda1 acpi_sleep=s3_bios vga=0x0368 ro
The responsible code snippet from grub-pc.config
1 if [ "$RET" = "fillme" ] ; then
2 kopt=`sed -ne "s/^# kopt=//p" /boot/grub/menu.lst | tr -s " " "\n" |
3 grep -vx "\(ro\|root=[^ ]*\)"` || true
4 db_set grub-pc/linux_cmdline "${kopt}" || true
removes root= and ro options, so afterwards kopt contains
resume=/dev/sda1
acpi_sleep=s3_bios
vga=0x0368
(Take care there are really newlines in, since this was requested
through the preceding tr operation from line 2.)
In line 4 the contents of $kopt are committed to debconf which silently
fails.
Since the quotes around ${kopt} expand the string as it is (newlines are
keept), db_set gets an argument with newlines resulting in
grub-pc/linux_cmdline only containing the first parameter
(resume=/dev/sda1). The remaining kernel options are lost.
So please remove the quotes from line 4 to profit from bash's word
splitting, which works find in this case. The $kopt var will be split at
all characters from IFS and concatenated with spaces.
Best regards from Dresden/Germany!
