Summary: Grub useless for servers - lacking the lilo -R option
Version: 0.9.2
Type: feature request
Message:
Hi guys,
I can see that the fact that Grub is missing the On-Next-Boot (-R) option from
Lilo has been discussed before (found it with google). However I couldn't find
it in the bug database.
I just wanted to say that I work with a lot of headless servers - at remote
hosting facilities and such - and at home I have a server in the closet in the
kitchen (we live small - 40m2) without a screen - and whenever I update my
kernel it has happened to me that the kernel didn't just work (often because
oldconfig didn't preserve devfsd :( ) but the thing here is - that I would like
to use Grub - but then it would need this feature, otherwise it it would be too
big a risk trying new kernels on the machines. Ofcourse I test them here, but I
don't always have the same hardware so I can't be sure it'll actually work. And
with f.ex. IBM hardware I can remotely call in and reboot the box if it panics
- but I can't make it select another boot-option.
So the short version of this, is that I would very much like to promote the
On-next-boot (only) option being added to grub.
