Bug#229649: grub: please provide support for memtest86 or menu chunks

Sun, 25 Jan 2004 21:12:10 +0100

Package: grub
Version: 0.93+cvs20031021-8
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I have memtest86 installed on many systems.  It would be very useful
if update-grub could detect the presence of the /boot/memtest86.bin
file and add it into the grub menu.

More generally, you could provide a /etc/grub-menu.d directory where
packages or admins could put some menu chunks that would go into
/boot/grub/menu.lst.
