From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux) Description of problem: I am using Fedora Core 1 on a remote system, and upgraded the kernel using yum. I want it to boot the new kernel for the next boot only. Based on a bit of Googling and then looking at the source, specifically grub-0.91-bootonce.patch. savedefault needs to be documented. /sbin/grub --help grub> help man grub info grub do not mention the 'savedefault' command. grub> help savedefault Displays a helpful message. Yay! But if you know to ask for that help, then, um, you don't really need the help. *doh* Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub-0.93-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # /sbin/grub 2. grub> help 3. *No mention of savedefault* Actual Results: No mention of the savedefault command in any help or documentation that I could find. Expected Results: I expected the command to be documented. Additional info:
Created attachment 98230 [details] Proposed fix for lack of savedefault in grub> help I /think/ this patch should do what I want. HOWEVER, this is untested, because an rpmbuild --rebuild of the grub-0.93-7 source rpm fails. *sigh* Once I finish this bug report, I'll report that one too.
Documented. info grub --index-search=savedefault There are lots of commands not listed on the BUILTIN_HELP_LIST. It's a matter of choice. grep -B 2 BUILTIN grub-0.93/stage2/builtins.c|less I could build grub with and without your patch. $ rpmbuild -ba grub.spec > stdout.txt 2> stderr.txt && echo $? 0 Closing as "not a bug".
Created attachment 101884 [details] Log of grub build failure $ rpm-build --rebuild grub-0.93-7.src.rpm > grub-rebuild 2>&1; echo $? 1 Find the build log failure attached. Perhaps there is a build dependency missing?
Originally reported against FC1. In FC3, I was able to --rebuild the grub srpm.
