Please discuss making any changes to grub.conf with Peter Jones
(pjones@xxxxxxxxxx) he knows grubby best. I'm not sure what to
think about adding an option to grub.conf in general, it does
make sorta sense when people install memtest86 to do that, but
otoh it feels a bit wrong. I think this is best discussed on
Fedora-devel, and then if there is consensus that adding a
grub.conf entry is a good idea Peter Jones is the one yo ask
technical questions about grubby.
Some background:
I initially implemented memtest86+ to automatically add itself to
grub.conf in %post. Jeremy disliked this because it wont work during
anaconda where grub.conf did not exist at that point yet. He suggested
just providing a script to add it to grub.conf manually, because doing
so automatically would be inconsistent.
As for your proposed build change to memtest86+, I have never seen grub
fail to boot memtest86+ in the way that you described, and also upstream
doesn't build it in that way. Please discuss with upstream your
proposed build changes.
