And if that's true, then I just don't see how we proceed to the next step which is safely supporting hibernation in a multiboot context.
Ah. I understand now.
If the booting of two or more Linux OS's can't be agreed upon cooperatively I don't see how hibernation of those OS's gets sorted out. Any installer asked to do a multiboot installation should probably configure the system in such a way that the user can't (easily) hibernate the system. Experts will just have to go unhide/enable hibernation manually since they're aware of the risks. It's not fair to do that to regular users asking for automatic installations from a GUI installer.
Have the selection done at UEFI, not on Grub. But some manufacturers refuse to support multiple systems on UEFI, we saw this recently :-( -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
