Bug#370644: grub: workaround

[Christopher Zimmermann]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-10
Followup-For: Bug #370644

Hi!

This patch fixes the issue for instant. But there is still work to be 
done till this lockold feature does it's job right. What if the default 
entry is not the first one like with "default = 2"?
line 935-936:
  # do not lockold for the first entry
  [ $counter -eq 1 ] && do_lockold=false

Should memtest be locked by lockold? BSD kernels lack the lockold 
feature at all.

Here is the (paranoic) workaround enabling lockold for memtest and bsd 
even if they might be the default:
--- update-grub	2006-06-07 11:52:19.000000000 +0200
+++ update-grub	2006-06-07 12:04:24.000000000 +0200

Hope this helps.
