Upstream grub has done a lot of work to make sure that you *can* have support for multiple platforms installed and in use at the same time, with the same config. That is why the single grub-install and grub-mkconfig scripts are identical no matter what target you build grub for, which allows distributions to package them (and other files) as common files, and platform specific files as separate packages, all of which can be installed, and used, at the same time. It's why modules were moved to /boot/grub/$arch-$platform (so that grub-install can be run multiple times with different target platforms without modules for the other platform being clobbered). Ubuntu allows grub-pc, grub-efi-ia32, grub-efi-amd64, grub-coreboot, and all other platform packages to be concurrently installed, and they work in such a configuration. In fact I would go so far as to say that upstream's opinion is exactly opposite yours: I don't expect that any patch would be accepted which would hinder support of having multiple platforms installed, all using the same grub-mkconfig generated grub.cfg, without a *very* compelling reason. -- Jordan Uggla (Jordan_U on irc.freenode.net) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1024383 Title: update-grub generates only BIOS based menu entries for Windows, even on UEFI systems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1024383/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
