This amounts to a feature loss, so a bug would be the appropriate way to react, if one hasn't already been filed. As long as Grub Legacy is available, I won't be using Grub 2, making me an inappropriate person to file such a bug.
Why don't people use LILO?
Because they hate having to run it whenever they add a new kernel?
And you are saying no suse-config needs to be done to add a new kernel to a grub menu when one is added?
Isn't the running of such part of the install?
Wouldn't running lilo be part of the install if it was similarly supported?
I don't know if this is pertinent as I haven't been following the complete thread. I build and deploy vanilla kernels mainly to test for problems with VirtualBox and the NVidia driver. I simply run the following script -- different disk ID's as appropriate to the particular system -- before rebooting to build the drivers.
