Description Michael Shigorin 2009-08-18 13:48:28 MSD

Было бы хорошо при отсутствии любого поддерживаемого загрузчика (например, в чруте для сетевой загрузки) вываливать что-нить вроде "warning: no bootloader found" вместо некрасивого

/sbin/installkernel: line 133: /sbin/lilo: No such file or directory

bootloader-utils-0.4.1-alt1 -> sisyphus:

* Wed Sep 16 2009 Vladislav Zavjalov <slazav@altlinux> 0.4.1-alt1

- installkernel:
  - change lilo restarting logic (closes #1014, #1015, #20695):
    old behaviour: restart lilo if first bootloader found in
      devices from /proc/partitions is lilo
    new one: restart lilo when lilo bootloader is found in
      device from boot= setting in lilo.conf
  - when detectliloboot.sh fails to find device, there are no
    need to run detectloader.sh (thx Dmitry V. Levin)
      (closes: #21106)
  - suppress unwanted output from cd -
- detectloader: replace by two shell scripts:
    detectliloboot.sh -- to get boot device from lilo.conf
    detectloader.sh -- to get bootloader type on the given device or file
- bootloader_utils.pm:
  - (getroot): recognize UUID and LABEL
      (thx Dmitry V. Levin) (closes: #2194, #18127)
  - remove unused functions (partitions, typeOfMBR) used in
      removed detectloader program
- rebootin
  - remove GRUB support
  - fix working with quoted labels in lilo.conf (closes: #11446).
  - cleanup code, improve error and help messages
  - add long options, add -l option for listing available labels.
  - update manpage
- remove URL and Packager tags (thx Dmitry V. Levin).

Comment 2 Vladislav Zavjalov 2009-09-16 18:42:52 MSD

Сейчас, если никокого известного загрузчика не найдено, никакого сообщения не выводится.
