I'm using this /sbin/grub program as a tester of my config file... and |
| 32 |
it does not recognize savedefault command but auto complete this |
| 33 |
command. /sbin/grub does not boot anything but exits (I would have |
| 34 |
much more problems if it could load another kernel and reboot). |

I've found that not having symbolic link on /boot named boot and |
| 55 |
pointing to . (dot) can cause not reading of my config file by grub - |
| 56 |
that's my mistake, centos does not have it and it boots. |
| 57 |
But I still don't know if the behaviour of /sbin/grub with savedefault |
| 58 |
is normal. It worked with 0.95 GRUB on centos (or GRUB ignored this |
| 59 |
command). |
