Historically, Ubuntu's default behaviour in the absence of command-line arguments to the installer has been to pass 'splash' to the installed system so that it gets a splash screen (and similarly 'quiet'). There's some argument that this behaviour should require passing 'splash' to the installer as well, but it's too late in the Lucid cycle for this change. Nevertheless, we need a way to configure images such that they don't get 'splash' in the installed system, so introduce a 'nosplash' argument which inhibits this, for use by the server CD (LP: #548954).	Colin Watson	1.49ubuntu10	14 years ago
78	* Ask grub-installer/only_debian at high priority again (LP:... * Ask grub-installer/only_debian at high priority again (LP: #47135). Originally, in Warty, we ensured that this question wouldn't be visible by default to support simple installations of Ubuntu with as few questions as possible. However, since then, we wrote Ubiquity, which has taken over responsibility for the simple installation case, and it's become clear that automatically installing GRUB to the first disk's MBR is inadequate for many more complex situations. Ironically, Ubiquity makes this option easily accessible from the "Advanced" dialog box, but Ubuntu's d-i required a special boot parameter to display it. * Update grub-installer/bootdev text to avoid GRUB device naming that changed between GRUB Legacy and GRUB 2, and to use libata-style device naming since that is more accurate for most people (LP: #391775)	Colin Watson	1.49ubuntu9	14 years ago
77	Bind-mount /proc and /sys while running grub-install (LP: #5... Bind-mount /proc and /sys while running grub-install (LP: #527210).	Colin Watson	1.49ubuntu8	14 years ago
76	Fix GPT detection to account for changed fdisk output (LP: #... Fix GPT detection to account for changed fdisk output (LP: #538100).	Colin Watson	1.49ubuntu7	14 years ago
75	Fix partition offset handling for GRUB Legacy. Fix partition offset handling for GRUB Legacy.	Colin Watson	1.49ubuntu6	14 years ago
74	[ Joel Ebel ] [ Joel Ebel ] Add missing $serial to get proper detection of serial console options working.	Evan Dandrea	1.49ubuntu5	14 years ago
73	Preseed grub-pc/install_devices_empty while installing grub-... Preseed grub-pc/install_devices_empty while installing grub-pc, since we deliberately defer calling grub-install until a later point. Thanks to Dustin Kirkland for debugging assistance.	Colin Watson	1.49ubuntu4	14 years ago
72	* Add $partition_offset to $bootpart when deciding which par... * Add $partition_offset to $bootpart when deciding which partition to make active based on GRUB-style device names (found while testing fix for LP #185878). * Use grub-probe to convert device names rather than relying on device.map. * Only add removable devices to device.map if using GRUB Legacy. * Use an appropriate OS device name rather than (hd0) if possible. * When installing from a non-CD medium, we only need to reset the default boot device if we would otherwise end up installing GRUB to the installation medium. * Convert device names to by-id form before preseeding grub-pc/install_devices.	Colin Watson	1.49ubuntu3	14 years ago
71	Don't check for LVM when we've already worked out that we're... Don't check for LVM when we've already worked out that we're installing on SATA RAID.	Colin Watson	1.49ubuntu2	14 years ago
70	* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes: * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes: - Show the grub menu and raise the menu timeout if other operating systems are installed (only for GRUB Legacy right now). - Ask grub-installer/only_debian at medium priority. - Remove splash boot parameter unless debian-installer/framebuffer=true. - If / or /boot are on a removable device, install GRUB there by default. - Only mount /target/proc if it isn't already mounted. - Support setting OVERRIDE_UNSUPPORTED_OS in the environment to force grub-installer to use its default MBR selection method despite there being unsupported operating systems on the disk. - Unless grub-installer/make_active is preseeded to false, mark the partition to which GRUB is being installed as bootable, or failing that the first available primary partition on the disk to which GRUB is being installed. - Support grub-installer/bootdev_directory preseeding to make use of the relative path feature of grub4dos, so that we can point grub4dos at part of a disk for Wubi. Setting this disables normal grub installation, but still generates a device.map (for GRUB Legacy only); it also hides the menu. - Handle cases where /boot is bind-mounted. - Add support for writing an GRUB Legacy MBR on each disk in an mdadm-managed RAID providing /boot. (GRUB 2 can handle this already.) - Properly make use of output from os-prober to configure the booting of other operating systems on dmraid arrays. Attempt to guess where in the device map the array belongs, by substituting the first drive in the dmraid array for the dmraid array device node itself, and removing any reference to other member disks of the array. - Set a sensible default boot device when /cdrom is not iso9660, as this is probably a USB install and (hd0) does not make sense when installing from a removable disk. - Go back to using update-grub -y for GRUB Legacy for now; our grub package is a bit old and still requires this. - Default to grub2 for GPT systems. - Allow grub/grub2 choice for ext4, though still default to grub2. - If /boot is on an MD device and we're using GRUB 2, install GRUB there rather than (hd0); GRUB 2 will interpret that as meaning that it needs to install to each of the RAID members. - Mount /target/sys when running update-grub. - If using GRUB 2 and installing to a RAID device any of whose components are partitions, then default to installing to the MBRs of each of the containing disks, since GRUB 2 will refuse to install to the partition devices. * GRUB 2 now supports installation on SATA RAID and multipath.	Colin Watson	1.49ubuntu1	14 years ago
69	* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes: * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes: - Show the grub menu and raise the menu timeout if other operating systems are installed (only for GRUB Legacy right now). - Ask grub-installer/only_debian at medium priority. - Remove splash boot parameter unless debian-installer/framebuffer=true. - If / or /boot are on a removable device, install GRUB there by default. - Only mount /target/proc if it isn't already mounted. - Support setting OVERRIDE_UNSUPPORTED_OS in the environment to force grub-installer to use its default MBR selection method despite there being unsupported operating systems on the disk. - Unless grub-installer/make_active is preseeded to false, mark the partition to which GRUB is being installed as bootable, or failing that the first available primary partition on the disk to which GRUB is being installed. - Support grub-installer/bootdev_directory preseeding to make use of the relative path feature of grub4dos, so that we can point grub4dos at part of a disk for Wubi.

Colin Watson	1.47ubuntu1	14 years ago

If using GRUB 2 and installing to a RAID device any of whose components are partitions, then default to installing to the MBRs of each of the containing disks, since GRUB 2 will refuse to install to the partition devices (LP: #457687).	Colin Watson	1.43ubuntu8	14 years ago
67	Mount /target/sys when running update-grub (LP: #456776). Mount /target/sys when running update-grub (LP: #456776).	Colin Watson	1.43ubuntu7	14 years ago
66	* Always use GRUB Legacy when /boot is on a multipath device... * Always use GRUB Legacy when /boot is on a multipath device. * If /boot is on SATA RAID or multipath, don't ask a question to which there's only one acceptable answer and the other causes grub-installer to fall over (LP: #452118).	Colin Watson	1.43ubuntu6	14 years ago
65	* Fix mishandling of loop variable that caused the semi-manu... * Fix mishandling of loop variable that caused the semi-manual dmraid/multipath/mdadm handling to fire even for disks that don't need it (LP: #444583). * Never use the semi-manual GRUB setup code for GRUB 2, since it won't work anyway.	Colin Watson	1.43ubuntu5	14 years ago
64	* Fix typo in fallback case when computing $disc_offered_dev... * Fix typo in fallback case when computing $disc_offered_devfs. * If /boot is on an MD device and we're using GRUB 2, install GRUB there rather than (hd0); GRUB 2 will interpret that as meaning that it needs to install to each of the RAID members (LP: #427048).	Colin Watson	1.43ubuntu4	14 years ago
63	* Fix some hardcoded uses of /target. * Fix some hardcoded uses of /target. * grub_write_divider is specific to GRUB Legacy; don't call it for GRUB 2.	Colin Watson	1.43ubuntu3	14 years ago
62	Explicitly install os-prober when using GRUB 2, since it doe... Explicitly install os-prober when using GRUB 2, since it does a better job than the otheros script (LP: #433259).	Colin Watson	1.43ubuntu2	14 years ago
