When translating from the UNIX name to the BIOS name, it should consider that /dev/by-id/whatever is equal to /dev/sda and translate it the same way as /dev/sda. -- 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.

I have only one hard disk (SATA) with several SuSE-installations, some of them subdivided into multiple partitions. I know the names, location, and syntax of the most important configuration files in openSUSE, so it's no big deal to me that I have to edit my menu.lst manually each time a kernel update is installed. -- 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.

The lines saying root (hd0,1) had been replaced by root (/dev/md0,1) I think this is a blocker, as the next kernel update shouldn't go out without fixing this first. -- 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.
