* Fix use of freed memory when replacing existing loopback device
(LP: #742967).
* Make sure to reinstall GRUB on upgrade if Wubi is in use (LP: #742967).
* Enable grub-fstest, so that we can use it to help find wubildr
(LP: #610898).
* Make NTFS UUIDs uppercase (LP: #695290). - 87. By Colin Watson
-
* If we're upgrading and /boot/grub/core.img doesn't exist, then don't ask
where to install GRUB, since it probably means we're in some kind of
specialised environment such as a live USB stick (LP: #591202).
* Drop the default priority of grub2/linux_cmdline to medium. We only
need to ask it if we're upgrading from GRUB Legacy and found an empty
kopt in menu.lst (LP: #591202). - 86. By Colin Watson
-
* Improve message if too many embedding area sectors need to be avoided
(thanks, Vladimir Serbinenko).
* Expand on "sector already in use" message to note that the software in
question may cause other problems and suggest reporting a bug (thanks,
Vladimir Serbinenko).
* Disable video_bochs and video_cirrus on PC BIOS systems, as probing PCI
space seems to break on some systems (LP: #641259). - 85. By Colin Watson
-
When embedding the core image in a post-MBR gap, check for and avoid
sectors matching any of a list of known signatures (mitigates LP
#441941; more work may be required). - 84. By Colin Watson
-
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
- Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options ("quiet splash").
- Default to hiding the menu; holding down Shift at boot will show it.
- Set a monochromatic theme for Ubuntu.
- Apply Ubuntu GRUB Legacy changes to legacy update-grub script: title,
recovery mode, quiet option, tweak how memtest86+ is displayed, and
use UUIDs where appropriate.
- Fix backslash-escaping in merge_debconf_into_conf.
- Remove "GNU/Linux" from default distributor string.
- Add crashkernel= options if kdump and makedumpfile are available.
- If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide
the menu. Otherwise, if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is 0, then use keystatus
if available to check whether Shift is pressed. If it is, show the
menu, otherwise boot immediately. If keystatus is not available, then
fall back to a short delay interruptible with Escape.
- Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'.
- Don't display introductory message about line editing unless we're
actually offering a shell prompt. Don't clear the screen just before
booting if we never drew the menu in the first place.
- Remove some verbose messages printed before reading the configuration
file.
- Suppress progress messages as the kernel and initrd load for
non-recovery kernel menu entries.
- Change prepare_grub_to_ access_ device to handle filesystems
loop-mounted on file images.
- Ignore devices loop-mounted from files in 10_linux.
- Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed, that is if it failed
to get to the end of one of the normal runlevels.
- Handle RAID devices containing virtio components.
- Don't generate /boot/grub/device. map during grub-install or
grub-mkconfig by default.
- Adjust upgrade version checks for Ubuntu.
- Don't display "GRUB loading" unless Shift is held down.
- Adjust versions of grub-doc and grub-legacy-doc conflicts to tolerate
our backport of the grub-doc split.
- Fix LVM/RAID probing in the absence of /boot/grub/device. map.
- Look for .mo files in /usr/share/locale- langpack as well, in
preference.
- Make sure GRUB_TIMEOUT isn't quoted unnecessarily.
- Probe all devices in 'grub-probe --target=drive' if
/boot/grub/device. map is missing.
- Adjust hostdisk id for hard disks, allowing grub-setup to use its
standard workaround for broken BIOSes.
- Build-depend on qemu-kvm rather than qemu-system for grub-pc tests.
- Use qemu rather than qemu-system-i386.
- Extend the EFI version of grub-install to be able to install into an
EFI System Partition mounted on /boot/efi in a location that complies
with the EFI specification.
- Upgrade the installed core image when upgrading grub-efi-ia32 or
grub-efi-amd64, although only if /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu already exists.
- Make grub-efi-ia32 and grub-efi-amd64 depend on efibootmgr so that
grub-install works properly.
- Program vesafb on BIOS systems rather than efifb.
- Add a grub-rescue-efi-amd64 package containing a rescue CD-ROM image
for EFI-AMD64.
- Extend EFI initialisation code to understand (,$partition)-style
prefixes. If the EFI System Partition is on the same disk as
/boot/grub, use this rather than allowing GRUB to set the prefix to
the EFI System Partition by default.
- Handle partition devices without corresponding disk devices.
* Extend ubuntu_linux_no_ loopmount. patch to ignore devices loop-mounted
from files in /etc/grub.d/20_linux_ xen as well as /etc/grub. d/10_linux,
quelling a warning message on Wubi.
* On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr using
the diverted grub-install (LP: #581760). - 82. By Colin Watson

* Make grub-efi-amd64 conflict with grub-pc as well as the other way round
(LP: #632642).
* Extend EFI initialisation code to understand (,$partition)-style
prefixes. If the EFI System Partition is on the same disk as
/boot/grub, use this rather than allowing GRUB to set the prefix to the
EFI System Partition by default (LP: #632775). (If they're on different
disks, grub-install already used a UUID to find /boot/grub.)[ Mario Limonciello ]
* Modify ubuntu_efi_install to check for case-insensitive EFI distributor.
(LP: #632706) - 81. By Colin Watson
-
Adjust the EFI-AMD64 rescue CD image to find itself at boot time by
looking for /.disk/info, rather than by UUID. This is a temporary
measure to allow parts of this image to be incorporated into other CD
images. - 80. By Colin Watson
-
* Build-depend on mtools for grub-rescue-
efi-amd64 build.
* Only build grub-rescue-efi-amd64 on architectures where we build
grub-efi-amd64.
