[pve-devel] [PATCH kernel-meta] boot-tool: fix whitespace in generated loader configuration

[Stoiko Ivanov]

Huge thanks for addressing this and directly providing a patch (and sorry
for fat-fingering the indentation in the first place)

as discussed off-list - I was not able to reproduce the issue (of a
non-booting system) directly - so the indentation alone was not the
problem.

One thing that rendered my test-system unbootable was adding empty lines
to /etc/kernel/cmdline (and running p-b-t refresh) - I sent a short
follow-up for this.

In any case - your patch works as advertised:
