2018-07-08 07:16:57 Yann Salmon description In /etc/default/grub are two variables that enable customization of kernel options : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT for non-recovery entries and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX for all entries (both recovery and non-recovery). It is not possible to specify kernel options to be used for recovery entries but not regular ones, which in my case is problematic as modesetting parameters are at a contradiction in those cases. I propose that the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_RECOVERY would allow to do so. This requires exporting this variable in the grub-mkconfig script, so that it can be read by the 10_linux script. There, I propose to keep the usual behaviour when the variable has not been set, and to completely eschew it when the variable is set. I am reporting here as it appears that upstream grub 10_linux does not have a mechanism for recovery entries at all, so I think it is Ubuntu specific.
