So when it is really needed to enter the password while booting it is _always_ incorrect. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install password for bootloader grub 2. Reboot 3. Press p to enter the password you set Actual Results: Password: ******** Failed! Press any key to continue . . . In file: /boot/grub/menu.lst password $1$some_nice_string Expected Results: Password: ******** [editable grub entries] In file: /boot/grub/menu.lst password --md5 $1$some_nice_string When editing the menu.lst manually and simply adding the missing --md5 everything is working perfect again. Happens during automated installation via autoyast, when using the DVD to repair the bootloader and when simply using yast on the running system to change some setting of the bootloader. After each change you have to manually update the menu.lst and enter the --md5 in the password line. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
