Details:
Hi,
Debian's grub 0.9 packages allowed the generation of more than two boot
entries per Linux kernel version installed. This allowed people to have
different entries for production use, single user mode, serial console or
different run levels.
grub 2 seems to be hardcoded to generate the production use entry and a
single user mode entry (which can be optionally disabled in later versions).
Please consider adding the possibility to define one's own alternative
entries. For example, I haven't been booting into single user mode once in ten
years, but I like to have a possibility to boot to serial console, or to run
level 3 from an unedited grub.cfg.
There is also a bug report in the Debian BTS,
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=488840
and a discussion on grub-devel,
beginninghttp://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2008-07/msg00011.html
I am filing this bug for completeness.
Savannah bug 24368, which is referred in some Debian bug log, doesn't solve
this, this bug was about the option to disable the single user mode entry.
Greetings
Marc
