X-Spam-Level:
Package: grub
Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-10
Severity: important
Note: I've classified this bug as important because the manifestation
of it could be an unreadable boot screen if /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
exists and the boot partition is not /.
My /boot is (hd0,1) and is a separate partition from /. If I create
/boot/splash.xpm.gz, update-grub generates the line
splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash-xpm.gz
instead of the line
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash-xpm.gz
which is really what is required. In other words, update-grub should
compute the path to the splashimage relative to the root of the boot
partition, whatever that is. The same logic is already applied in
update-grub for computing the correct path to the kernel and initial
ramdisk images, so the change should be straightforward.
On my system, the result is that the grub menu doesn't display and the
console font once the system boots is so mangled you can't read
anything on the screen, hence my classification of this bug as
important.
