[Bug 1569567] [NEW] Running update-grub on ppc64el does not update /boot/grub/grub.cfg with options from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

[Dave Chiluk]

Public bug reported:

Running update-grub on ppc64el does not update /boot/grub/grub.cfg with
options from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT.

Reproducer:
1. edit GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub .  
2. Run update-grub
3. check /boot/grub/grub.cfg for the correct options

Unfortunately I've only checked this on a 14.10 ppc64el machine, so this
needs to be verified on a 14.04 machine, but I didn't want to lose this
bug just in case.

It seems to only affect ppc64el hardware.

My line looked like 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="console=hvc0 crashkernel=2G-4G:320M at 32M,4G-32G:512M at 32M,32G-64G:1024M at 32M,64G-128G:2048M at 32M,128G-:4096M at 32M"
