Bug 325973 – sys-boot/grub-1.98: grub-mkconfig(/etc/grub.d/10_linux) ignores builtin initrds

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dennis Schridde 2010-06-28 12:22:50 UTC]

When CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE is set, no seperate initrd is necessary. grub-mkconfig from sys-boot/grub-1.98 (specifically /etc/grub.d/10_linux) ignores this and assumes:
"""
# "UUID=" magic is parsed by initrds.  Since there's no initrd, it can't work here
"""

I propose following fix:
--- /etc/grub.d/10_linux.orig   2010-06-28 14:22:06.080669780 +0200
+++ /etc/grub.d/10_linux        2010-06-28 14:21:24.177670182 +0200

   done
   if test -n "${initrd}" ; then
     echo "Found initrd image: ${dirname}/${initrd}" >&2
-  else
+  elif ! grep "CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=" /boot/config-${version} 2> /dev/null ; then
     # "UUID=" magic is parsed by initrds.  Since there's no initrd, it can't work here.
     linux_root_device_thisversion=${GRUB_DEVICE}

Reproducible: Always
