Subject: Better error handling
Date: Wed, 06 Oct 2010 13:39:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CAC600C.7040309@redhat.com> (raw)
While talking to David Zeuthen, he mentioned that our current error handling is
not very user friendly and I agree.
Presenting the user the message "Boot has failed, sleeping forever." does not
really help.
Instead of displaying the message, we could:
- turn "rdshell" into "rd.no_shell" and drop to a shell by default.
Admins with security concerns will lock grub with a password, and can add
the "rd.no_shell" parameter.
- add simple tools to present the user a list of mountable partitions, assemble
lvms, md, dmraid and mount network devices.
What do you think?
