Package: grubconf
Version: 0.5.1-3
Severity: normal
When grubconf is started and reads the grub configuration file, root=/dev/hda1x in the
options of the kernel becomes root=/dev/hda1 - it drops the latter numeral. For example in
my menu.lst (which was originally generated by grubconf)
title Debian GNU/Linux
#:0 <-- type: 0 => linux, 1 => windows, 2 => other
root (hd0,7)
kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hda10 (null)
becomes
title Debian GNU/Linux
#:0 <-- type: 0 => linux, 1 => windows, 2 => other
root (hd0,7)
kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hda1 (null)
The same happens to another entry where root=/dev/hda12 - it also becomes
/dev/hda1.
The change appears in the grubconf GUI immediately following grubconf startup and sticks
in the configuration file if grubconf rewrites it, i.e. if something is modified with
grubconf.

Description:
grubconf - a Gnome2 based GNU GRUB configuration editor
Closes: 260276 263648
Changes:
grubconf (0.5.1-4) unstable; urgency=low
.
* debian/control: get rid of gcrypt7 and gnutls10 dependency. Patch
submitted by Matthias Urlichs <smurf@debian.org>
(closes: #263648)
* fix get_index_dev() on grubconf_dev.c to check for root dev names
which can be larger than 4 chars, ie hda10. The fix is to check
the last char (which is '\0' on smaller dev node names, thus a valid
check).
