--- Begin Message ---Package: grub-pc Version: 2.06-14 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? executing "update-grub" (os-prober disabled!) * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? "update-grub" as root (os-prober disabled!) * What was the outcome of this action? On screen (xterm) I saw all the installed kernels of system grub was running from. In addition all bootable siduction-live.iso files were listed and appended to the list (due to a script in /etc/grub.d/60_fll-fromiso). The entries defined in /etc/grub.d/40_custom did not appear in this on screen list. This leads to the seemingly obvious conclusion they were not found or honoured. Only further investigation will show they had been copied to /boot/grub/grub.cfg . This is confusing behaviour as the user expects to see the outcome of his action, i.e. the *complete* final result on screen (xterm), not only a part of a list which gives the impression something has gone wrong. * What outcome did you expect instead? Show the complete list with all entries as copied to /boot/grub/grub.cfg I classified it as "important" as this bug gives the user the (wrong but convincing) impression of not successfully working! (I accidentally booted a Debian-siduction kernel, not the pure Debian Kernel. The bug is always the same) -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/sdb1 / ext4 rw,noatime 0 0 /dev/sdb3 /dtn/archiv ext4 rw,noatime 0 0 /dev/sdc5 /dtn/musik ext4 rw,noatime 0 0 /dev/sdc3 /dtn/soft_alt ext4 rw,noatime 0 0 /dev/sdc6 /dtn/vid ext4 rw,noatime 0 0 /dev/sda7 /dtn/rec ext4 rw,noatime 0 0 /dev/sda5 /home ext4 rw,noatime 0 0 /dev/sda2 /var ext4 rw,noatime 0 0 /dev/sda3 /var/cache/apt/archives ext4 rw,noatime 0 0 /dev/sda9 /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng ext4 rw,noatime 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_SNR (hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Samsung_SSD_840_EVO_120GB_SNR (hd2) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_SNR (hd3) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_SNR *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then set have_grubenv=true load_env fi if [ "${next_entry}" ] ; then set default="${next_entry}" set next_entry= save_env next_entry set boot_once=true else set default="0" fi if [ x"${feature_menuentry_id}" = xy ]; then menuentry_id_option="--id" else menuentry_id_option="" fi export menuentry_id_option if [ "${prev_saved_entry}" ]; then set saved_entry="${prev_saved_entry}" save_env saved_entry set prev_saved_entry= save_env prev_saved_entry set boot_once=true fi function savedefault { if [ -z "${boot_once}" ]; then saved_entry="${chosen}" save_env saved_entry fi } function load_video { if [ x$feature_all_video_module = xy ]; then insmod all_video else insmod efi_gop insmod efi_uga insmod ieee1275_fb insmod vbe insmod vga insmod video_bochs insmod video_cirrus fi } if [ x$feature_default_font_path = xy ] ; then font=unicode else insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd1,msdos1' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd1,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd1,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci1,msdos1 --hint='hd1,msdos1' UUID-deleted else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root UUID-deleted fi font="/usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2" fi if loadfont $font ; then set gfxmode=1280x1024 load_video insmod gfxterm set locale_dir=$prefix/locale set lang=de_DE insmod gettext fi terminal_output gfxterm if [ "${recordfail}" = 1 ] ; then set timeout=30 else if [ x$feature_timeout_style = xy ] ; then set timeout_style=menu set timeout=5 # Fallback normal timeout code in case the timeout_style feature is # unavailable. else set timeout=5 fi fi ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### function gfxmode { set gfxpayload="${1}" } set linux_gfx_mode=1280x1024 export linux_gfx_mode menuentry 'siduction 2018.3.0 Patience (Xorg) GNU/Linux, with Linux 6.3.11-1-siduction-amd64' --class siduction --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-6.3.11-1-siduction-amd64-advanced-UUID-deleted' { load_video gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode insmod gzio if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd1,msdos1' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd1,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd1,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci1,msdos1 --hint='hd1,msdos1' 655268bd-541f-4863-a960-951dc0cdcb46 else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root UUID-deleted fi echo 'Loading Linux 6.3.11-1-siduction-amd64 ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-6.3.11-1-siduction-amd64 root=UUID=UUID-deleted ro quiet systemd.show_status=1 echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-6.3.11-1-siduction-amd64 } menuentry 'siduction 2018.3.0 Patience (Xorg) GNU/Linux, with Linux 6.3.4-1-siduction-amd64' --class siduction --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-6.3.4-1-siduction-amd64-advanced-UUID-deleted' { load_video gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode insmod gzio 0
