Here are three consecutive messages from y2log that contain the word
'activate':

2009-05-08 15:42:55 <1> cantor(4159) [YCP] 
bootloader/routines/autoinstall.ycp:159 Bootloader settings from profile: 
$["global":[$["key":"timeout", "value":"10"], $["key":"password", 
"value":"--md5 $1$PvC31/$.jvVgGSAyH2sfrvCa7oy40"], $["key":"color", 
"value":"white/blue black/light-gray"], $["key":"activate", "value":false]], 
"loader_device":"/dev/sda", "loader_type":"grub", "location":"mbr"]

modules/Bootloader_API.pm(Bootloader_API::DumpLog):28 GRUB::Parselines: input 
from menu.lst :

' activate false'

bootloader/routines/lib_iface.ycp:221 Reading bootloader global settings
2009-05-08 15:42:55 <1> cantor(4159) [YCP] 
bootloader/routines/lib_iface.ycp:228 Read global settings: 
$["activate":"true", "color":"white/blue black/light-gray", 
"lines_cache_id":"0", "password":"--md5 $1$PvC31/$.jvVgGSAyH2sfrvCa7oy40", 
"timeout":"10"]


Thus, the profile is read correctly. But then the parameters are transferred
to some menu.lst style "activate false", and then I guess that the sole
existence of the word "activate" in a menu.lst (which isn't yet there,
I guess it's just fake) is interpreted as "activate=true".

I guess it goes wrong because "activate" is not a real grub option
but handled as one? Could that be?

Please let me know if you consider this a YaST and not a AY bug, then
I can submit it to the Novell Support.

cu,
Frank
