Hi:
I think this bug is the same?
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=263116
Isn't it?
I did the upgrade and system couldn't boot. :-(

We just released some packages for testing:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-04/msg01603.html
We hope it's fixed - but we would rather have some more testers instead of breaking more stuff :-(.
I have tested the update (opensuse/2007-04/msg01603.html) by reinstalling from scratch, and then updating using the instructions provided. The patch has solved one of my problems (see bug # 263116). My system now boots after the kernel upgrade. However, I have several comments. 1) The menu entries for the previous version are gone, along with the previous version. It would have been nice to maintain this as a fall-back in case the update had problems - which it certainly did. 2) The new menu entries make no sense. The prospective target audience for SUSE Linux will be families and business people, not technicians. They don't care about things like "Kernel-2.6.18.8-0.2". It must be as understandable and straightforward as Windows - more so if possible. Anything else will scare people away. 3) Isn't the Failsafe selection supposed to boot into run level 3? The "3" is missing from my menu.lst file. 4) My original menu.lst file had a comment line before each of the title lines that began - ###Don't change this comment .... Those comment lines are all missing from the new entries that were added to the file. Only the entries for the Floppy and Windows still have comment lines. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
