Bug#276763: update-grub must check for more then vmlinuz entries, probably using the file(1) utility

[George Danchev]

Package: grub
Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-10
Severity: wishlist

Presently /sbin/update-grub has hardcoded searching handling for vmlinuz files 
under the /boot directory. In case of name change or 
having  /boot/memtest86.bin these entries wont be added to the menu list. I 
suggest to test all the files with something like "/usr/bin/file" to find out 
which of them are "x86 boot sector" and add them to the list.
