Hi, I've found it rather vexing that I've needed to run update-grub explicitly after installing a new kernel on systems that I've recently installed. Today, I finally looked into the matter. So on a system that doesn't have an /etc/kernel-img.conf, the postinst of the first kernel-image package installed creates one with some default values. This is fair enough. My question is: what is the rationale behind setting the do_bootloader variable to a default of no? Should perhaps d-i create a default kernel-img.conf based on whether or not a bootloader was installed? regards Andrew -- linux.conf.au 2005 - http://lca2005.linux.org.au/ - Birthplace of Tux April 18th to 23rd - http://lca2005.linux.org.au/ - LINUX Canberra, Australia - http://lca2005.linux.org.au/ - Get bitten!
