Package: grub
Version: 0.97-58
Severity: normal
A stock grub-legacy installation was configured on a serial-enabled
machine with a standard set of serial options in /boot/grub/menu.lst:
serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal serial
When the update to switch to grub-legacy came through, the conversion
script completely ignored these settings, which had to be placed by hand
in /etc/default/grub like so:
GRUB_TERMINAL=serial
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no
--stop=1"
To avoid bootloader issues in serial console setups like this, it would
be really nice to automatically detect and transfer settings like this.
Thanks for grub -- I'm excited to see grub 2 finally coming into its
own.
Regards,
