On second thought, I'm really not convinced we need this kind of logic. It seems a lot like a workaround. Just leave it with (/dev/foo). If you remove device.map generation from grub-install, you can remove the backward compatibility hack while at it. Then we rely only on UUIDs. In the future, we can rely on the initial value of $root as well, but this would require some rework (disk / partition split). -- Robert Millan "Be the change you want to see in the world" -- Gandhi _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
