Hi,
I'd like to propose an improvement to update-grub (if at all
possible):
I just bought a new mainboard and a new CPU, an AMD Athlon64.
Now I plan to do the following:
- One boot partition with both i386 and amd64 kernels, and two
debian installations, one with 386 packages and one with amd64
packages. Separate partitions for both debian installations, shared
/boot with one grub menu.
Now, obviously the 386 and the amd64 kernels need different arguments
for root= (and maybe other options).
Would be nice to have architecture-specific options in menu.lst to be
appended by update-grub.
The question is how to detect the kernel architecture of a given
kernel file. Maybe the filename?
regards
Hadmut
