The detectloader script doesn\'t exclude CD-ROMs from bootloader search. The following subroutine failed to exclude my CD-ROM: sub read_partitions { my (undef, undef, @all) = cat_(\"/proc/partitions\"); grep { $_->{size} != 0x3fffffff # skip cdroms (otherwise stops cd-audios) } map { my %l; @l{qw(major minor size dev)} = split; \\%l; } @all; } The CDROM\'s entry in /proc/partitions, with some iso9660 CD-ROM inserted, is as follows: 22 0 166222 hdc 118 5762 23880 6210 0 0 0 0 65 2182210 15874111 --- ---
Reassigned to maintainer.
Didn't stumble upon that. Might be fixed?
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).
