Bug#581252: live-helper: syslinux overwrites kernels with other kernels



Package: live-helper
Version: 2.0~a11-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hello,

I noticed that the usb live images produced by live-helper, which ought to contain at least two different kernels, actually contain a single kernel, and the various boot screen options all start this single kernel. It was caused by bogus code in binary_syslinux helper (the NUMBER variable handling was a real WTF moment for me).

The attached patch fixes this behaviour.

Regards
    Jiri Palecek
