Description
Describe the bug
The GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR value is currently static and sets a value of "CentOS Linux"
Severity
- Completely Broken (No work-around evident)
- Severely Broken (Work-around possible but difficult)
- Moderately Broken (Trivial work-around)
- Nuisance (Functions but untrapped errors can slip through)
Expected behavior
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR value matches the OS Distribution
Deviance Description
On non-CentOS systems, produces an incorrect value
Fix Suggestions
Make the value set programmatically – based on the value set in the bootstrap-host.
