So that means that grub-install would need to read some other file maybe /etc/default/grub-install to know if it has to ignore stage1_5 or not. Then I add a --ignore-stage1_5 option to setup command and that's it. I think that /etc/default/grub-install should be sourced from grub- install at its first line and that would be fine. Do you have any more ideas till I actually code this, well, finish coding it? -- after boot into Windows XP, grub menu is not displayed and computer reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26058 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
