my bad, insmod is included as you said. I agree that most of this should not be included in the core.img. however at least for ubuntu help should be included. because its an enormous usabilty issue if you hint for help and it isnt there. And I would expect some command to shutdown (I assumed halt does such a thing) since it is not always possible to kill the power etc. Also for people who don't dare to powe cycle and just wan't to shutdown and call someone technical.
Maybe i just expect to much from the grub rescue prompt when it cannot find its devices. So your probably right about the other commands. -- grub contains to few modules in rescue mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
