Package: grub Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-17 Severity: wishlist
This wishlist bug is possibly the opposite of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=343076 ; in my case, it's caused by Xen kernels, but it's not actually Xen-specific. I feel that update-grub should not attempt to generate automatic menu.list stanzas for non-Debian-packaged kernels. If I've installed a kernel outside of APT's purview, then I've taken care of how to boot it. I've had problems with systems failing to boot due to incorrect stanzas being generated by update-grub for third-party kernels (such as the Xen-installed ones) which then fail to boot and lead to tricky phone support problems for me. I suggest that update-grub should perhaps look through the contents of installed kernel-image (or linux-image etc.) packages for kernels rather than just examining the filesystem. If this is a configurable option, then this more conservative behaviour should be the default.
