[Bug 581796] Re: grub-installer ignores grub2/linux_cmdline_default in preseed

[Mathieu Mitchell]

The documentation for bionic mentions the new option, "debian-installer/add-kernel-opts":
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/amd64/apbs04.html

Note however that there is a mention of "if supported by the bootloader installer".
Andrew: can you post full preseed file?

There is also a mention of "options passed to the installer will be
added automatically", so maybe you can try passing kernel options
through the installer kernel options?

Title:
  grub-installer ignores grub2/linux_cmdline_default in preseed

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub-installer

  Description:    Ubuntu 10.04
  Release:        10.04

  When automatically installing a system with a preseed file, grub-
  installer seems to ignore settings for grub2/linux_cmdline_default.

  I have tried the following two lines in my preseed file, but none of
  them worked:

  grub-pc grub2/linux_cmdline_default string
  d-i grub2/linux_cmdline_default string

  
  When running `debconf-get-selections` on the newly installed system, the output still contains:

  grub-pc grub2/linux_cmdline_default     string  quiet splash

  
  This seems to be an error (or at least an undocumented nuisance) of grub-installer ignoring the settings in the preseed file.
