Package: grub Version: 0.97-29 Severity: normal I've been compiling some test kernels and with those I get the following order: Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.23-rc8+cfs Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.23-rc9 Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.23-rc9-test2 Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.23-rc9-test Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.23-rc8 Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.23-rc7 Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.23-rc6
The major error here is that rc8+cfs is sorted before rc9 kernels, but if I read the comments in update-grub correctly, the rc9-test* kernels should also be sorted before rc9 itself. It seems that the tests for kernel suffixes is the problem here. It should test for the _first occurence_ of a suffix in a version and not only check the end of a version string. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-rc9-test (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
