Details

Description:
syslinux-install_update doesn't work correctly if the root (or boot) filesystem is a symlink, like /dev/disk/by-label/

The suggested fix is to use "readlink -f" in order to get the real path of the root/boot device.

Additional info:
* syslinux: 6.03-3
   syslinux-readlink.patch (0.6 KiB)
