[Bug 555323] New: zypper dup did not update menu.lst at all
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555323 Summary: zypper dup did not update menu.lst at all Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: vkrevs@yahoo.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091103 SUSE/3.5.5-2.1 Firefox/3.5.5 I had followed the instructions in http://en.opensuse.org/Upgrade/11.2 to upgrade my openSUSE 11.1 for x86-64 to 11.2. Just before rebooting, I decided to check whether /boot/grub/menu.lst had been correctly updated. It turns out it wasn't updated at all - it still referenced the old 11.1 kernel entries only. So if I rebooted at this point, my desktop would not have booted up. I ended up reinstalling kernel-default, kernel-default-base packages via rpm -ivh --replacefiles --replacepkgs, and that added new kernel to menu.lst.

Josef, what about using YAST_IS_RUNNING=1 ? Does that make a difference?
Yes, perl-Bootloader checks only instsys value... and Überhack is if you use DELAYED_RUN_UPDATE_BOOTLOADER=yes Then perl-Bootloader think that he run delayed update. But as I said it is hack and internal implementation which should not be official way. -- 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.

Sorry for a silly question, but how is one supposed to perform a distribution upgrade using zypper dup if bootloader config is not updated? Isn't that a showstopper? Or am I missing something here?
of course zypper dup works. what doesn't work is if you run YAST_IS_RUNNING=instsys zypper dup because it simulate upgrade from instsys and not on running system -- 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.
