Package: grub
Version: 0.97-12
Severity: normal
This has been observed by several people on debian-user-german, both on
sid and on sarge with 0.97-11bpo2. When grub-reboot is invoked, it
displays commands that look correct:
riesling:~# grub-reboot 5
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)
[ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For
the first word, TAB lists possible command
completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
grub> savedefault --once --default=5
grub> quit
Do you want to reboot now? [y/N]
riesling:~#
But the next reboot just goes to the default OS, not to the sixth entry
in menu.lst.
