Package: grub-common Version: 1.96+20090808-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I have a system which has /boot on /, which is an encrypted LV. Since the system cannot boot from there, /boot is unisoned to an USB stick, where /boot's contents is directly in its root so that the stick can be mounted directly as /boot should that be desired: $ ls -al /boot/grub/grub.cfg -r--r--r-- 1 root root 2,0K 17. Aug 23:46 /boot/grub/grub.cfg $ ls -al /media/disk-1/grub/grub.cfg -r--r--r-- 1 root root 2,0K 17. Aug 23:47 /media/disk-1/grub/grub.cfg $ < /proc/mounts grep disk-1 /dev/sdb4 /media/disk-1 ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 $ In this setup, make_system_path_relative_to_its_root of course prints /boot, which causes grub.cfg to refer to the kernels as /boot/vmlinux-foo, which is not true at run time. grub's scripts of course cannot know about this, so it should be a possibility to override make_system_path_relative_to_its_root to treat /boot as if it were actually a mounted file system. I would prefer having a config file, which could for example contain a line as /boot / over having to modify the actual function, which is not even a conffile.
