• Diff for "GrubTransition"

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

• lock / password mechanism (patch in http://www.mail-archive.com/grub-devel@gnu.org/msg05350.html)

• 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
