Bug#823747: [grub-common] rescue should include noresume

[Philipp Klaus Krause]

Package: grub-common
Version: 2.02~beta2-36
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

grub creates rescue entries for all found Linux kernels. However the
kernel parameters do not include noresume.
Hibernate/Resume is traditionally an issue on Linux. Crashes on resume
are a common problem. To be able to use the computer again, the user
needs to boot without resuming from a RAM image in such a sitation. This
require the kernel parameter noresume. Which the user most likely
doesn't know about, so the user needs another computer to be able to
look it up. Effectively the user may be locked out of the system for a
long time.
Adding the noresume parameter to the rescue entry would make rescue a
viable option for getting a system back into a useable state (and IMO
more closely match user expectations).
A rescue entry that tries to resume from a RAM image, if one is found,
seems broken to me.

  Thank you!
