Package: grub-pc Version: 1.97~beta3-1 Severity: normal If I counted correctly, this bug report collects three issues: 1. The question about the kernel command line does not appear, 2. the default value for that question is not filled in from /boot/grub/menu.lst, and 3. the kernel command line from /bot/grub/menu.lst is not used automatically.
I can report new combination: the question did appear during preconfiguration from aptitude, but its default value was blank. Out of curiosity, I accepted the blank value, and checked /boot/grub/grub.cfg after aptitude finished installing: the command line from /boot/grub/menu.lst had been copied over. On the other hand, the debconf setting is empty: * grub2/linux_cmdline: So maybe the kernel command line will disappear from /boot/grub/grub.cfg the next time I reconfigure, or the first time I reconfigure after grub-legacy (and thus /boot/grub/menu.lst) is gone from my system.
