Package: syslinux Version: 2:3.85+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Manpage of syslinux states that:
$ man syslinux | grep -B1 'linux auto' | cut -c15- If no configuration file is present, or no "default" entry is present in the configuration file, the default is "linux auto". Meanwhile syslinux 3.85 introduced following change: $ zgrep -A5 'linux auto' /usr/share/doc/syslinux/changelog.gz | cut -c4- We no longer have a built-in default of "linux auto". Instead, if no DEFAULT or UI statement is found, or the configuration file is missing entirely, we drop to the boot: prompt with an error message (if NOESCAPE is set, we stop with a "boot failed" message; this is also the case for PXELINUX if the configuration file is not found.) I think this warrants a separate NEWS entry since it can break some setups. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
