Apparently Parkes' kernel no longer needs console=tty or no_auto_cmd.

Is this bug a real problem or a symptom of https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?28489 ?

Kernel panic happens because the grub-yeeloong package doesn't add "console=tty no_auto_cmd" to the default Linux parameters. And that's because debian/templates.in doesn't have those in "Default".

If UUID is used by default installed grub config this is a blocker; if not, reduce priority; need to see what the case is.

Also cc:ing phcoder who may be able to fix the actual problem in GRUB2.

When Linux is booted with "root=UUID=..." it stops with a kernel panic. When booted with "root=/dev/bla" it boots fine. Booting with a UUID parameter should be made to work, because it's normally a valid option and because:

<samgee> how do I disable uuids in grub?
<samgee> and could we have that as the default setting, because others have seen this problem too
<samgee> ahh, grub_disable_linux_uuid=true
<nyu> samgee: unfortunately it breaks other setups

Could this be caused by a config option that's not set for our kernels?
