Package: live-build
Version: 1:20171207
Severity: normal
Control: tags -1 + patch
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I was trying to build a live cd that has both two kernels: 686 and amd64
and at the same time which would be any hybrid disk so that I can boot
in a BIOS-only machine and in an UEFI-only machine.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I used these options:
--linux-flavours="686 amd64"
--bootloaders="syslinux,grub-efi"
to build my system.
* What was the outcome of this action?
After autodetect menu in grub.cfg / grub menu there was not
any specific menu for either amd64 kernel or 686 kernel.
And I remember having these menus back in the day.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected to have an additional amd64 kernel boot entry
and a 686 kernel boot entry.
* Patch attached
I attach a patch that fixes this problem. It seems it was just a typo.
You can also find the same patch at:

Subject: [PATCH] Now grub.cfg shows all the kernel options Before this patch
when you had more than two kernels it only showed the auto option.
