grub2.SlackBuild typos
Line 133: Text editor has changed "exit 1" to "exi$"
Line 217: A single pipe was typed instead of a double pipe, so the output of the command is piped to exit 1, rather than the script exiting with error code 1 on command's failure.
I've built this locally for 32-bit with typos fixed, installed the package, then run grub-mkconfig. One result is that "Vector Gnu/Linux . . ." appears on host fs choices, as it should[sic]. It also puts "UUID=(the uuid)" in for root= kernel parameter, which means that, for the present, initrd (containing udev) is necessary to find the fs to be mounted as root. No idea whether the "/dev/sd[a-z][0-9a-f]" present from the installer-generated one was the result of installer activity, or of how grub-mkconfig sets up with the typos present -- which will result in some intended patches not being applied.

reporter Moises - you were gone from IRC before I discovered that this leaves us with a timeout of 5 seconds, not 3. This is the default of /etc/grub.d/00_header if it's not set in /etc/default/grub. In this case it's not.
Personally, I don't see the problem with 5 seconds as a starting point; was wondering whether 3 might be too short anyway.

Should BUILDNUM in grub2.SlackBuild be incremented?
I'm having trouble distinguishing whether RC2.2.4 uses the changed package or the original one.

Not too worried about that since we do not yet have a final public release

New RC's have indeed made the build number irrelevant. Marking "Resolved".
