Thanks for reporting this interesting issue. That's quite some corner case, when you have things from different distributions in the same partition. I am afraid Gutsy will treat all kernels in its /boot as its own. How should it know that a kernel belongs to some other distribution, and not to itself? Maybe you can move the other kernels to another sub-directory? Or should all distributions take equal part and all administer the same /boot hierarchy?
It would be possible to add a new Debian configuration variable "#title=" so that you can override the lsb_release, but I don't know if it's worth it. To do this properly, update-grub would have to check the root= argument of each kernel entry and look up that partition (if possible) and see what is installed on it... Another possibility would be to use dpkg -S to recognize its own kernel, and just write "GNU/Linux" for the others. I always install grub on each root partition and chainload between them, and I didn't think about your situation. For the moment I think the advantage of newbies seeing their Ubuntu version in the boot menu outweighs the extra hassle for advanced users like you. -- [gutsy] kernel's from different distributions all have the same title https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149905 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
