Bug Description
Binary package hint: os-prober
os-prober 1.29ubuntu2 [karmic alpha2]
To help test GRUB2, I created installed it in a partition boot sector and chainloaded to it from LILO, my current bootloader. I ended up with rather a lot of stuff in the grub.menu, but one of the entries was obviously copied out of lilo.conf .. but with the kernel command line mangled. lilo.conf had:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
The new grub.cfg ended up with:
menuentry "Linux (on /dev/mapper/
insmod lvm
set root=(ext-hardy)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set b0403c0c-
linux /boot/vmlinuz root=LABEL ro vga=normal
initrd /boot/initrd.img
}
I guess the second equals confused something. Fortunately there were other entries in the new config that would have booted the system OK, so hardly a show stopper, but it might be nice to tidy up.
