Applying a kernel update will delete custom grub entries with this kernel and add a default one
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce: 1. duplicate a grub entry and add some parameter to the kernel command line 2. update kernel, e.g. by doing auto-update with one of the provided kernel updates Actual Results: the created custom entry in grub which uses the outdated kernel which has now been updated is removed, a default entry is created, e.g. "Desktop -- openSUSE 11.3 - 2.6.34.7-0.4"
Expected Results: all (custom) entries with the updated kernel should be changed in order to boot the new one - without changing either the name of the entry, nor any parameters
Sorry, that is not way how it work. If you really want separate case for special booting custom kernel use symlinks, which perl-Bootloader doesn't update. Current behavior is that during update one entry with new kernel is added and during removing kernel all kernel entries with it is removed. If you think that your behavior is better one, please feel it as new feature into fate. -- 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.
