Package: os-prober
Version: 1.42
I have a partition with a menu.lst file containing the following line:
title * Lenny2 Debian 5.0.5, 2.6.26-2-amd64 on /dev/disk/by-label/root
When running update-grub, this produces a very long garbage entry in grub.cfg:
menuentry "bin boot cdrom dev etc home [etc.] Lenny2 [the rest of the title] (on /dev/sdb2)" {
The asterisk was expanded to the content of the directory I happened to be in when running update-grub.
update-grub runs /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober, which runs linux-boot-prober, which runs /usr/lib/linux-boot-probes/mounted/40grub.
The problem comes from line 39 of /usr/lib/linux-boot-probes/mounted/40grub, which is
set -- $line
At that point, the $line variable containing the title line with the asterisk is expanded, and $2 is the first file in the current directory, $3 the next, etc.
I'm not sure what the best solution would be, but the resulting grub2 menu looks really weird, and it was quite time-consuming to find what was causing it.
Fortunately, I had no title in menu.lst with entries like $(rm -rf) ...
