Boot-update 1.5.2 scan command feature bug
Hi Daniel, one of my Funtoo-Quebec users(Mathieu Tarral) is testing boot-update 1.5.2 with the multi-distro support that I requested a while ago.
I found 2 bugs when I was helping him debugging his current setup.
1. The found scan doesn't mount automatically before doing the scan if necessary.
2. The linux entry is invalid when the scan fonction works, because it return the mount point instead of the / or /boot with the kernel name.
Finally, the root param is there twice too.
His current setup :
/dev/sda9 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda7 / ext4 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda8 /home ext4 defaults 0 2
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/sda5 /mnt/kubuntu ext4 users,defaults,noauto,noatime 0 5
/dev/sda6 /mnt/archlinux ext4 users,defaults,noauto,noatime 0 6
#windows 7
/dev/sda2 /media/windows ntfs users,defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 7His mount after mounting his stuff :
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/sda7 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,commit=0)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
rc-svcdir on /libexec/rc/init.d type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=1024k,mode=755)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=10240k,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620)
shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw,relatime)
/dev/sda8 on /home type ext4 (rw,commit=0)
/dev/sdb1 on /media/Data type ext4 (rw,commit=0)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,devmode=0664,devgid=85)
/dev/sda2 on /media/windows type ntfs (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000)
/dev/sdc1 on /media/Tera Externe type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
/dev/sda6 on /mnt/archlinux type ext4 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime)
/dev/sda5 on /mnt/kubuntu type ext4 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime)His /etc/boot.conf :
boot {
generate grub
default "Funtoo Linux"
timeout 10
}
"Funtoo Linux" {
kernel bzImage[-v]
}
"Funtoo Linux genkernel" {
kernel kernel[-v]
initrd initramfs[-v]
params += real_root=auto
}
"Windows 7" {
type win7
params root=/dev/sda1
}
"Archlinux" {
scan /mnt/archlinux/boot
kernel vmlinuz26[-v]
initrd kernel26.img
params += root=/dev/sda6
}
"Kubuntu" {
scan /mnt/kubuntu/boot
kernel vmlinuz[-v]
initrd initrd.img[-v]
params += root=/dev/sda5
}The execution :

For his concern, he expected to have this :

insmod ext2

linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-25-generic root=/dev/sda5 rootfstype=ext4

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-27-generic
set gfxpayload=keep
}
menuentry "Archlinux - vmlinuz26" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,6)
linux /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 rootfstype=ext4
initrd /mnt/boot/kernel26.img
set gfxpayload=keep
}Daniel, it's not a big deal, because he changed the linux path and now it's working good, until the next time that he run boot-update
