Package: grub Version: 0.97-1 Severity: minor Hello,
I tried grub 0.97-1 from unstable yesterday. Before I had 0.95+cvs20040624-19 from Etch. While trying out grub 0.97 (see bug # ) I ran update-grub several times. It told me that is found splash image but will use the previous default. Curious on what will happen when I remove my previous setting I removed my previous setting and tried again. But update-grub still insisted that I have a previous default set. Well later I found out why: It duplicated the splashimage entry lots of times in the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST and I removed only my own entry before that AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST. Needless to say it shouldn't do that ;-) Regards, Martin # menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8) # grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8), # grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub # and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/. ## default num # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM.
