* Resynchronise with Debian (XFS change fixes LP: #8058). Remaining
changes:
- Show the grub menu and raise the menu timeout if other operating
systems are installed.
- Ask grub-installer/only_debian at medium priority.
- Remove splash boot parameter unless debian-installer/framebuffer=true.
- If / or /boot are on a removable device, install GRUB there by
default.
- Only mount /target/proc if it isn't already mounted.
- Support setting OVERRIDE_UNSUPPORTED_OS in the environment to force
grub-installer to use its default MBR selection method despite there
being unsupported operating systems on the disk.
- Unless grub-installer/make_active is preseeded to false, mark the
partition to which GRUB is being installed as bootable, or failing
that the first available primary partition on the disk to which GRUB
is being installed.
- Support grub-installer/bootdev_directory preseeding to make use of the
relative path feature of grub4dos, so that we can point grub4dos at
part of a disk for Wubi. Setting this disables normal grub
installation, but still generates a device.map; it also hides the
menu.
- Only support grub-installer/grub2_instead_of_grub_legacy by preseeding
for now.
- Handle cases where /boot is bind-mounted.
- Add another guard against calling 'udevadm info' with an empty device
name.
- Add support for writing an MBR on each disk in an mdadm-managed RAID
providing /boot.
- Properly make use of output from os-prober to configure the booting of
other operating systems on dmraid arrays. Attempt to guess where in
the device map the array belongs, by substituting the first drive in
the dmraid array for the dmraid array device node itself, and removing
any reference to other member disks of the array.
- Add support for lpia.
- Handle /boot being on a virtio device.
- Set a sensible default boot device when /cdrom is not iso9660, as this
is probably a USB install and (hd0) does not make sense when
installing from a removable disk.
- Use rootnoverify rather than root when chain-loading Microsoft
operating systems.
- 'dmraid -c -s' changed its output format; cope with both old and new.
grub-installer (1.36) unstable; urgency=low
* Allow to install grub when /boot is on XFS. Since version 0.97-47lenny2
grub supports XFS so it can be installed without hanging grub-installer.
