That's what distributions shipping GRUB2 are using. Fedora is totally unaware of grub-mkconfig, so I have to rerun it every time I install a new kernel. grub-mkconfig won't pick up all filesystems, mounted and unmounted. Processing unmounted filesystem would require a binary with GRUB filesystem code linked into it, perhaps grub-fstest or a separate binary. And let's not forget about recovery disks. That's where lua would really shine. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
