Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: normal
On upgrade, I'm presented with the following dialog:
---8<---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Configuring grub-pc
-------------------
The following Linux command line was extracted from /etc/default/grub or the `kopt' parameter in GRUB Legacy's
menu.lst. Please verify that it is correct, and modify it if necessary.
Linux command line:
The following string will be used as Linux parameters for the default menu entry but not for the recovery mode.
Linux default command line:
---8<---------------------------------------------------------------------------
But the parameter `Linux [default] command line' is not prefilled with the
value from /etc/default/grub. In fact, I couldn't find any code in
grub-pc.postinst that would extract that value.
Here's my /etc/default/grub file:
---8<---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='resume=swap:/dev/mapper/vgsys-lvswap no_console_suspend hpet=force acpi_sleep=s4_nohwsig'
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entrys
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true"
---8<---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a side note, it's a bit confusing that the description uses
`Linux command line' in one case and `string [...] as Linux parameters' in the
other.
