OK. I get that we don't necessarily want to be noisy if it's just for something optional. But if somebody's /boot is on LUKS, it would be nice to tell them how to enable support for that rather than just having grub-mkconfig fail, right? I think grub-install already gives specific instructions, so we could do that in grub-mkconfig too. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
