This thing needs a regression test suite.
|
|
|
|
The grub linux-boot-probe has these limitations:
|
|
|
|
- Does not handle grub present menus.
|
|
- Does not support things like (hd0,1)/path/to/file
|
|
although in the case of the kernel it will strip
|
|
off the drive specification, and look for the file in the current
|
|
partition.
|
|
|
|
The lilo linux-boot-probe has these limitations:
|
|
|
|
- Doesn't map from devfs to normal if the lilo.conf uses devfs names
|
|
(valid?)
|
|
|
|
linux-boot-prober:
|
|
|
|
- Partition names in boot loader config may have changed during
|
|
the debian install, so cannot be trusted. Fix up root= lines,
|
|
etc.
|
|
- To get to boot/, may need to parse fstab. But this can fail because
|
|
as noted above, drive names may have changed!
|
|
- Maybe do some probing before partitioning and store info?
|
|
Or don't support adding partitions before existing /boot partitions.
