Speaking of Grub 2, does anyone know if the grub2 automatic boot-through
to default bug has been fixed? I posted it on launchpad
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/428570)
but apparently no one has had a chance to look at it.
Although not a big deal for desktop installs, this is a serious PITA for
server environments, particularly for collocated or dedicated server
pools where the admin doesn't have access to a console.
If you're using 9.10, server, I suggest you use the work around
described in the bug report.
