Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090603-2
Severity: normal
I have a /boot/vmlinux-2.6.26 file that I installed some time ago for
use with oprofile. Since the /etc/grub.d/10_linux script looks for
files using the pattern /boot/vmlinu[xz]*, this file is automatically
added to the boot menu, and moreover it is selected as the first entry.
However, this file doesn't boot properly. Grub gives a message saying
so and then sits there waiting for user input. In practice it means I
have to watch over the boot sequence or the workstation is as good as
halted for all practical purposes.
What I've been doing is edit 10_linux and change the /boot/vmlinu[xz]*
pattern to /boot/vmlinuz*, but each time grub-pc is upgraded I have to
edit the file again. I've been doing this for several releases and it
has gotten old now.
So my request is: can this pattern be turned into /boot/vmlinuz* in the
file distributed with the package? I guess it boils down to whether
there are still valid uncompressed (vmlinux) kernels that can be booted
at all.
