Dear all, I just uploaded pv-grub-menu to the NEW queue. This package borrows from the grub-legacy package the scripts to create and manage the file /boot/grub/menu.lst. Here are its description and the contents of README.Debian.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Creates a menu.lst file for PV-GRUB PV-GRUB is a utility of the vitualisation platform Xen, to boot virtual machines with their own kernel. This package maintains a configuration file in /boot/grub/menu.lst, that is read by PV-GRUB. It does nothing else, which means that it is not suitable for booting non-virtual systems. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At its installation, this package runs 'update-menu-lst' to create a 'menu.lst' file in '/boot/grub/' in order to make the system bootable by PV-GRUB. It also runs 'update-menu-lst' each time a kernel package is installed or removed. 'update-menu-lst' is derived from 'update-grub' in the grub-legacy package and has some options in common, in particular 'groot' and 'kopt' that can be edited in '/boot/grub/menu.lst' and applied by running 'update-menu-lst' again. See the manual page update-menu-lst(8) for details. This package does not contain GRUB and does not modify the master boot record. Install grub-pc or one of the other GRUB 2 binary packages if you need this. This package conflicts with grub-legacy as both packages modify '/boot/grub/menu.lst'. Systems where grub-legacy is installed do not need pv-grub-menu. This package is for systems where GRUB can not or should not be installed, but that need an up-to-date '/boot/grub/menu.lst' file. It provides and conflicts with Ubuntu's grub-legacy-ec2 package, that it aims to replace. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It source is managed with Git in Alioth's collab-maint project.
