Title:
drop grub-legacy from server image?
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
In discussion with Scott Moser, we've determined that there's probably
no longer any reason to support grub1 on the server ISO. grub-
installer no longer installs it automatically, only if you preseed it
- with the rationale given in the changelog that you might want to do
this when installing on Xen (i.e., if booted using pv-grub).
The grub-legacy-ec2 package exists to provide compatibility with pv-
grub on cloud images without depending on grub1. It might be a good
idea to migrate to this for the server images as well - and maybe on
*all* other images where we still include grub1. Maybe we want to
include some installer integration for grub-legacy-ec2 before dropping
it, however?
