Don't apologise for doing something before I got round to it! :-) > Anyhow, if you find more issues with systems that have no device.map, help > is welcome fixing those of course. I'm trying to figure out how to make Debian's grub-installer operate without a device.map; it has various legacy bits and pieces that need conversion, and I'm working on these. Along the way, though, I noticed that grub-install still unconditionally creates a device.map. This seems likely to become confusing if devices are changing around a lot, since it's never updated. I'd like to get to the point where it doesn't do this by default. How about we add support for an option to disable this, and make grub-installer and the Debian maintainer scripts pass it once they're ready? Some time later, we can flip the default value. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
