Comes from grub2 miscelanea questions (1/2)
14) help linux ================= Usage: linux FILE [ARGS...] Load a linux kernel. I think that a message telling the user that the ARGS are arguments for the linux kernel instead of arguments for the grub's linux command would be a good idea. 15) lsmod ============== As long as I am unable to run a pager can anyone tell me what the three columns mean? cat 1 normal,gzio gzio 6 boot 1 normal 16) help play =================== Usage: play FILE Play a tune What is the FILE format? Is it an AIFF, an AU, a WAV, or is it an ASCII file that has tones? I should not go to the source code for knowing it. 17) play ideas ================== It seems a rather complicated file... is there any utility for creating it from grub2 or is it standard file that I do not know of? Maybe it should have a --loop and -l argument. So that if no key is pressed the file is played again. Another --delay -d argument can be useful for determining the delay period between one reproduction and another. 18) source, . , and configfile ================================= If both source and '.' commands say that: Load another config file without changing context. Then the configfile command should say: Load another config file (with a new context) instead of saying: Load another config file. 19) rescue and exit failure on qemu ============================== I think that booting from my computer does not give this error. If I boot from QEMU and type: grub> rescue and then : grub rescue> exit it says: FATAL: INT18: BOOT FAILURE 20) grub rescue help ======================== help : Types the commands and a minimal explanation: OK help any_command : Types the commands and a minimal explanation: NOT OK help not_a_command : Types the commands and a minimal explanation: NOT OK 21) grub rescue exit help =========================== When you are in grub rescue mode and you type help the exit line it's the following one: exit exit from GRUB Should it not prompt ? exit exit from GRUB rescue 22) copyright message missing ================================ Why isn't there (when Grub is running) any message about the GRUB Copyright and the GPL license and that you should have received and this and that? Is it a memory problem? (In grub legacy there was not any message like this either) Maybe we should implement an 'about' command and run it when booting :) ? 23) set read only variables ============================== unset prefix lets me "delete" the prefix variable. unset root does not let me the "root" variable. I remember that bash has an option to set read only variables. Maybe the root variable is a read only variable? 24) 'Command' commands ========================== Is there any special reason why the rescue, set, unset, export, insmod, rmmod, lsmod commands are in a single file called: normal/command.c instead of being in separate files in commands/ folder ? adrian15 _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
