Hi,
I had accidentally put an extra space (" " ASCII 0x20) after the end
curly brace ("}" ASCII 0x7d) of a menuentry statement in my 40_custom
script and this resulted in the menu entry not showing up in the grub2
menu the next time I booted (I did update-grub of course). Menu entries
in subsequent scripts (e.g. 50_example) was shown in the menu. And
manually booting using the grub2 command line using the exact commands
in the missing menuentry worked fine. This was on a recently installed
and up to date Ubuntu 9.10.
It would be preferable if it didn't matter that there was an extra space
there. Imagine the head scratching before figuring it out :-) If it's a
syntax error to have a space after } then it would be nice if it
complained (preferably in update-grub) instead of simply not showing the
menu item.
Is this a known problem/limitation?
PS. I'm not subscribed so please cc me on any responses, thanks.
Regards and thanks in advance,
/P
