by Thomas Bächler 06 Mar '10

The first one used a deprecated syntax and failed whenever / was not called /dev/mapper/root The second one got a cosmetical cleanup to be more consistent with what was set during the installer The third one also failed whenever / was not called /dev/mapper/root --- src/core/libs/lib-ui-interactive.sh | 9 +++++---- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/core/libs/lib-ui-interactive.sh b/src/core/libs/lib-ui-interactive.sh index 586abc9..d9f8795 100644 --- a/src/core/libs/lib-ui-interactive.sh +++ b/src/core/libs/lib-ui-interactive.sh @@ -1089,20 +1089,21 @@ generate_grub_menulst() { then debug 'FS' 'Grub kernel line?

I can see why some people want that on their installed box [and hence the possibility to install it using any installation medium]. our goal with the installation media (we're failing at that goal right now), is to have a set of media for each new kernel release. why? optimal hardware support. so the question is simple: do LTS kernels get driver updates like the normal kernels do? but even if they do, they probably run behind on filesystems support and such. so i do not see any advantages for installation media running an LTS kernel.
