Hi Robert, first of all, I fully understand your point regarding grub legacy maintenance. But let me explain a bit...

Pleae have a look at the patch. It's fairly unintrusive and the grub-install part has been in this form or another in other distros since ages. It basically brings grub-legacy up to par with the rest of the world. The only reason we need to slightly patch up things besides grub-installer is that we implement the current upstream device naming policy while other distros tend to stick to the old scheme. So the device.c part is Debian specific anyway atm. [..snip..] > Sorry for that.

So am I and that's exactly why I'd like to have working grub legacy support in d-i before we turn or heads towards grub2. We might run out of time before lenny and will then release without multipath support. Cheers, -- Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
