Bug#618958: linux-base: Boot loader configuration not recognized
Package: linux-base
Version: 3
Severity: minor
Today i've updated linux-base to version 3 and the following message
appeared:
---------------
The boot loader configuration for this system was not recognized. These
settings in the configuration may need to be updated:
* The root device ID passed as a kernel parameter;
* The boot device ID used to install and update the boot loader.
You should generally identify these devices by UUID or
label. However, on MIPS systems the root device must be
identified by name.
---------------
I think that the script is puzzled because in /etc/fstab and grub2
configuration i use "/dev/disk/by-uuid/" rather than the suggested
"UUID=" notation. I prefer it because i think it's cleaner, follows
the common UNIX /dev convention without requiring special support and
simply just works. And since then i've not seen any drawbacks in using
it.
I've took this suggestion some times ago from an openSuse machine.
Don't know why that notation provided directly by the kernel seems not
suggested nor supported directly.
Apart for the message, the system boots and loads well.
Cesare.
