Package: grub-common
Version: 2.00-7
Severity: wishlist
Dear GRUB Maintainers,
before grub 2.00, the boot menu consisted of one single list with all
installed kernels. Since 2.00 all but the latest kernel are now in a
submenu which is annoying if you often switch kernels or prefer to
have an overview over all kernels at boot without pressing any key.
So please provide a configuration option in /etc/default/grub to disable
the submenu creation to allow again the previous way to list kernels in
the boot menu.
By reading through 10_linux I found no obvious non-intrusive way to
disable the submenu. So I patched /etc/default/grub, 00_header, and
10_linux to get it optionally working again as before. Once these
patches have been proven to be reliable, I'll attach them to the
bug-report.
