http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=994322 Bug ID: 994322 Summary: bye-bye, grub_installdevice Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader Assignee: yast-internal@suse.de Reporter: snwint@suse.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: Development Blocker: --- [follow-up from bug 979002] plan: Get rid of /etc/default/grub_installdevice for i386-pc target. use-case: To avoid complications when device names are not stable (see bug above). For example when drivers change or VMs are moved around. Also, yast will only propose configurations where grub resides in the disk with the /boot partition - so the assumption below should ideally always be true. how: /usr/lib/bootloader/grub2/install replaces missing entries with defaults: - device = disk where /boot/grub2/i386-pc/ lives - there are other entries like 'activate' or 'generic_mbr'; they can be dropped as they are not used anyway by /usr/lib/bootloader/grub2/install So, basically yast should only create grub_installdevice when grub is installed to a non-default device. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
