Bug#460843: please support additional options to use with the default boot option
package: grub2
version: 1.95+20080107-1
severity: wishlist
Dear GRUB-Maintainers,
in the legacy grub package you could specify (citing from menu.lst)
## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
I consider this a very usefull feature and I miss this in the grub2
packages. For standard booting I prefer to pass e.g. 'quiet' to the
kernel, but not for single-user mode.
In the grub2 packages the variable ${GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX} is passed to
the kernel in both standard and single-user mode. Maybe an additional
variable (e.g. ${GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT}) could be passed to the
kernel only in standard mode?
Cheers,
Fabian
