Oh, great. Why can't this font be put in /boot/grub? Using /usr can mean we need: raid, lvm, fshelp, a fs and a partitioning scheme module in addition to what we need to access /boot. >> BTW, does it also work for the case both LVM and RAID are used? > > No, for that we need to handle recursion in grub-probe, which is the same > we'll need to get partmap detection working on lvm/raid. You are working on this? Or is this bug documented? -- Marco
