This page is about migrating GRUB Legacy to GRUB 2.

Initial proposal sent by Otavio: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2007/04/msg00328.html

Regressions

  • Weird hardware RAID paths (e.g. /dev/fubar/bazXsY). Check for regressions there (see [grub]/lib/device.c)
  • lock / password mechanism.

  • Menu's default=saved / grub-reboot isn't implemented.

  • xen detection / setup in update-grub

Non-regression issues that may become essential (or at least, desirable) during lenny life period

  • Filesystems haven't been proof-tested with 64-bit offsets (2 TiB disks). Not really a regression (Legacy GRUB has the same problem), but it'll become critical in the future. There's a task for this in upstream: http://savannah.gnu.org/task/?7667

  • ext4dev extent support?
