Bug#475296: update-grub not run

[Joey Hess]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080408-1
Severity: normal

I installed on a system with grub 1, and since I was at the console,
decided to answer "no" to grub-pc/chainload_from_menu.lst.

I immediatly ran upgrade-from-grub-legacy, deleted menu.lst, and
rebooted. Silly me..

System came up in grub2, but w/o a grub.cfg, so I had to boot it by
hand. I then ran update-grub and it generated the missing grub.cfg.


BTW, the wording of grub-pc/chainload_from_menu.lst was not very clear
to me -- I wasn't sure if answering "no" to it would cause grub2 to be
installed as the main bootloader, or whether it would leave grub 1
installed and just not chainload grub2. It appears it does the latter,
and I suggest clarifying the wording.
