Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090808-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I like the transition from grub-legacy to grub2 so far, except for one
detail that I have been unable to troubleshoot yet. When I install the
grub-pc package, I get prompted:
The following Linux command line was extracted from the `kopt'
parameter in GRUB Legacy's menu.lst. Please verify that it is correct,
and modify it if necessary.
The command line shown was correctly parsed from menu.lst, so I leave
it alone. The installation scripts then go on to generate
/etc/default/grub and /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but the kernel command line
seems to get ignored. In /etc/default/grub, a line is generated:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet
That quiet option then gets propagated on to /boot/grub/grub.cfg. If
I change the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT option manually and run
update-grub2, that works ok.
I thought it would be good to report this in case it happens to other
people. My grub-legacy menu.lst should be attached. I can reproduce the
problem right now by running:
# apt-get --purge remove grub-pc
# rm /boot/grub/core.img
# apt-get install grub-pc
Thanks,
Corey
