package: fai version: 2.8.4 severity: important Hi,
scripts/GRUB/10-setup fcopies an invalid /boot/grub/menu.lst and the
fcopy-postinst script fixes this file, by running grub-installer with the
data from $diskvar (/etc/fai/diskvar.sh) - which doesn't exist on systems
which were not installed with fai.
The easy workaround would be to test, if $diskvar exists before
fcopying /boot/grub/menu.lst. But this doesn't work with "fcopy -r /" -
therefore I propose a special class which only gets defined on fresh installs
and move /files/boot/grub/menu.lst/GRUB to that class.
Another option would be to create $diskvar based on /proc/* and/or
menu.lst/lilo.conf/yaboot.cfg before it is overwritten... - but I guess thats
much more error-prone...
You could also sell it as a feature that softupdates doesnt touch the
bootloader...
regards,
Holger
