Great, on Debian BTS we have 2 bugs [0] related to LVM and I wasn't able yet to trace them down, but that could be the reason for them. > Shall we attempt to fix this and send a patch ? Yes please do :) Because GRUB is a GNU project, you have to obey the GNU Coding Standards [1] The Maintainer standards [2] says that on ~15 line changes you need to assign copyright to FSF, but for this the others can tell you more after you did your patch. So just try to obey the coding style used in GRUB and please try to write a changelog entry, see GCS as a manual and the changelog file for examples [0] http://bugs.debian.org/462835 http://bugs.debian.org/495949 [1] http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/index.html [2] http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Legally-Significant -- Felix Zielcke _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
