Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-8
Severity: wishlist
Hi there,
In Lenny, when installing Xen, grub was giving it priority, and by default,
Debian was booting on the hypervisor. This has changed in Lenny, and even
with the Xen hypervisor installed, Debian boots by default on a non-xen
kernel, without the hypervisor. This behavior could be considered a
regression, and could put some servers in production into some big troubles.
After some talks with Jcristau on IRC, he said that the RT wouldn't hold
Squeeze befcause of that issue, and that I should send this bug report as
release critical. However, when I asked if such a modification would be
allowed to migrate to Squeeze, the answer was "I don't know". So I believe
that there is still a room for change.
It would be very nice if you could tell if you think the change of order is
something you would consider before Squeeze is out. If it's too much of a
big modification, everybody will understand. But at least, I think that some
documentation should be added to tell how to reverte the change.
Anyway, thanks for the work on Grub, even if the above can't get in Squeeze,
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
