Subject: Searching UUID on floppies
Date: Fri, 30 May 2008 18:14:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1212185676.18496.9.camel@dv> (raw)
Hello!
An old system with a floppy drive has a minor regression with the
current GRUB. It makes some noises for a second or two when GRUB loads,
apparently trying to find a floppy disk in the drive.
It's possible that some misconfigured systems may even hang or wait for
a long time if the floppy drive is absent, but BIOS expects it to be
present. It's easy to blame users, but it will be seen as a regression.
Perhaps the UUID search should start with the hard drives and then go to
the floppies as the last resort?
