Subject: [PATCH] Skip leading spaces on BLS field values
The GRUB 2 blscfg command doesn't parse correctly the BLS fields if these
have extra spaces before the field values. For example, the following BLS
fragment generates a wrong menu entry due using spaces to tabulate values:
title Fedora 28 (Twenty Eight)
version 4.16.13-300.fc28.x86_64
machine-id e5c131dfee3249cbb9891c2641d8e350
linux /vmlinuz-4.16.13-300.fc28.x86_64
initrd /initramfs-4.16.13-300.fc28.x86_64.img
options root=/dev/mapper/fedora-root ro
Wrong generated menu entry:
load_video
set gfx_payload=keep
insmod gzio
linux ($root) /vmlinuz-4.16.13-300.fc28.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/fedora-root ro
initrd ($root) /initramfs-4.16.13-300.fc28.x86_64.img
Correct menu entry after the fix:
load_video
set gfx_payload=keep
insmod gzio
linux ($root)/vmlinuz-4.16.13-300.fc28.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/fedora-root ro
initrd ($root)/initramfs-4.16.13-300.fc28.x86_64.img
