         Planned Release: 

    _______________________________________________________

Details:

grub.conf with the following setup does not update /boot/grub/default with
line 5 commented out:



1  default save

2  title PowerSafe

3  root (hd0,0)

4  safedefault NUM

5  # cat /boot/grub/default

6  halt

7  ...



after enabeling line 5, /boot/grub/default gets updated accordingly.



Suspect: disk cache gets not flashed, if safedefault command is immedately
followed by halt.



This scenario is not as useless as it might look like, see
