244 * Changes with regards to Ulrich's work:
245 - Add a check to identify old ISOs which do not ship
246 a default.cfg file and abort then. We have to break
247 backward compatibility, otherwise the isolinux/syslinux
248 code would become worse than it's already nowadays.
249 - Search for isolinux files in /boot/isolinux/ so the
250 correct grml.png is used.
251 - Support setting bootoptions in syslinux.cfg
252 * Drop duplicated boot=live references in kernel cmdline.
253 * Apply patch from Thorsten Glaser which prepares code for
255 * Raise CriticalException if filesystem.module, kernel or
256 initrd are not present.
257 * Avoid the "file is read only, overwrite anyway (y/n) ?"
258 question of mtools by syslinux.
259 * Inform user when using grub as bootloader.
260 * Make syslinux the default bootloader (drop --syslinux,
261 add --grub instead). Grub fails just too often.

283 Thanks for the patch to Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth <leo@strike.wu.ac.at>!
284 * Make sure grub.conf isn't a symlink but a plain file instead,
285 otherwise it will break on FAT16 filesystems. This works around
286 grub-install of (at least) Fedora 10.

303 older 'terminal'-command (thanks to Felix Zielcke for helping).
304 * Document the 'grub-setup fails after Attempting to install GRUB
305 to a partition instead of the MBR' issue.
306 * Use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" instead of vga=791 in
307 grub2 configuration. This requires a recent version of the linux
308 loader as the new linux loader loads the kernel at 32bit entry point
309 and not at 16 bit anymore so it has to be translated for the Linux
310 kernel (as the kernel parses vga= in 16 bit code). In the long run
311 we don't seem to have another option, so let's change it.
312 Thanks to Felix Zielcke and Robert Millan for first hand information.
313 * Increase timeout from 5 to 10 seconds in grub2 configuration.
314 * Load memtest86+ binary via 'linux16' in grub2 (otherwise it fails).
315 * Drop the serial boot entry from grub2 (I assume users with usb
316 pens don't need that option).
