Package: grub-pc Severity: normal Installing grub-pc and I receive the following debconf prompt:
│ The following Linux command line was extracted from /etc/default/grub or │ │ the `kopt' parameter in GRUB Legacy's menu.lst. Please verify that it │ │ is correct, and modify it if necessary. │ │ │ │ Linux command line: │ │ │ │ _________________________________________________________________________ │ (note, that is, the command line is blank). My kopt line is # kopt=root=/dev/mapper/tchicaya_vg1-root ro I'm guessing (after reading some other bug reports) that what grub-pc is trying to determine is any *other* command line arguments, besides the root device and 'ro'. This isn't clear, and my first reaction was "it's missing root=blah and ro, that won't work!" Adjusting the text to make clear that it doesn't need the root device nor ro would avoid some confusion. (Unless I'm mistaken and it *does* need these, and has failed to parse them somehow...) Finally in the case where no other kopts are detected (as above) the prompt might make more sense worded "grub-pc did not detect and kernel command-line options in your old GRUB configuration. If any options are required, aside from the root device and 'ro', please enter them here:" -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers transitional APT policy: (500, 'transitional'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
