---Problem Description---
grub-install command ignores any command-line arguments passed
Contact Information = Manikandan Chidambaram/cmanikandan@in.ibm.com, Pradeep K
Surisetty/pradeepkumars@in.ibm.com
Machine Type = does not seem to be machine specific
---Steps to Reproduce---
1. Install SLES 11 beta 3
2. Login to the machine and run grub-install with any arguments like :
"grub-install --help" or
"grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/root/m /dev/sda". Notice that the
command proceeds as if
no arguments have been passed.
---Base System Tools Component Data---
Userspace tool common name: grub-install
Userspace rpm: grub-0.97-151.12.x86_64.rpm

Running grub-install with 'set -x':
elm3a210:~ # grub-install -h
+ grub-install -h
+ test -x /usr/sbin/grub
+ grep -q quit /etc/grub.conf
+ grub --batch
GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory)

lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a device/filename. ]
grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0) (hd1,0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/reiserfs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/reiserfs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 19 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
Running "install --force-lba --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 d
(hd0) (hd0)1+19 p
(hd1,0)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded
Done.
grub> quit
+ exit 0
Looking at the source of grub-install script, it seems that Novell has changed
grub-install in order
to use grub+yast2 instead. However, grub-install manpage still describes the
usage of arguments.
