Package: grub Version: 0.97-38 Severity: important After installing a new kernel I suddenly noticed that update-grub has started to use double leading / before the kernels. Probably related to the fact that I have a separate /boot partition.
I'm not sure when this exactly started. Although it does not real harm, it is useless, ugly and a clear regression and therefore severity important. During kernel install I get: Found kernel: //vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-amd64 Found kernel: //vmlinuz-2.6.22-3-amd64 Found kernel: //vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-amd64 The double / can also be seen in the menu.lst below. -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/sda *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/mapper/main-root / ext3 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/main-root /dev/.static/dev ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/main-home /home ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/main-tmp /tmp ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/main-var /var ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/main-srv /srv ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda3 /srv/chroots/i386-sid ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/main-amd64--etch /srv/chroots/amd64-etch ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/main-vbox /srv/vbox ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/main-srv /home/fjp/projects ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/main-srv /srv/chroots/i386-sid/home/fjp/projects ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/mapper/main-srv /home/fjp/downloads ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/menu.lst # menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8) # grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8), # grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub # and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/. ## default num # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM.
