Are these bugs? I notice it's common in technical projects such as grub that useability is often the non-bug, since you can argue that it's not a bug. Is this the case here? Let's be honest, grub2 is a much bigger learning curve from the days Lilo.
I thought I'd mail here first to discuss and check before jumping in with bugzilla. 1) In CLI mode you should be able to pass "kernel" to boot rather than just "linux". The justification I make for this is that this is the syntax the grub.cfg file follows so this is what a new user expects it to be 2) grub2-install gives no output. In my case somehow it had written a blank menu to my bootsector. I ended up having to rescue with both LVM and an encrypted volume which was no walk in the park. Some verbosity here is needed. 3) I noticed in the grub2-mkrescue that the syntax is described as "grub2-mkrescue SOURCE". Surely the syntax should be "grub2-mkrescue DESTINATION"? It's very confusing to think you are reading a file in rather than writing a file out. Or am I mistaken? -j _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
