If GRUB is idle and enter in this loop, the only condition to leave is

this never happens.

Many tests fail when run as a non-root user on FreeBSD. The failures

indeed important to allow us to do such things as installing GRUB to the

grub-shell: Pass -no-pad to xorriso when building floppy images
The floppy images built by grub-shell are currently just over the

It compares the native endianness to the endianness of the elf file, and

32-bit Big Endian grub to load a 64-bit Little Endian kernel.

Bail out if trying to run grub-mkconfig during upgrade to 2.00
Since files in /etc/grub.d/ are conffiles, they are not put in place

/etc/grub.d/00_header contained a reference to ${GRUB_PREFIX}/video.lst.

Disable gfxpayload=keep by default
Setting gfxpayload=keep has been known to cause efifb to be
inappropriately enabled. In any case, with the current Linux kernel the
result of this option is that early kernelspace will be unable to print
anything to the console, so (for example) if boot fails and you end up
dumped to an initramfs prompt, you won't be able to see anything on the
screen. As such it shouldn't be enabled by default in Debian, no matter
what kernel options are enabled.
