It may be that the correct solution for intrepid, now that we're past the point where we need to support upgrades from pre-UUID versions of Ubuntu, is to simply drop the migration code in update-grub since it really shouldn't be needed for hardy->intrepid upgrades. I think it's going to be easier to prove the correctness of such a change than to try to patch the existing code to selectively mangle kopt - though of course that won't solve this issue for users of hardy.
I understand the case for non-UUID-based root if you're not using an initramfs. Can someone explain to me why UUIDs are a problem in practice for RAID configurations, though? Is this a question of the UUID being incorrectly interpreted as belonging to the physical volume instead of the RAID group? If so, I think that's a much more serious bug in the UUID detection which needs to be corrected there, regardless of any changes to update-grub. -- edgy update-grub destroys kopt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/62195 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
