[Bug 223576] Grub installation is broken after update

------- Comment #7 from volker3204@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2006-11-30 12:47 MST -------
I am seeing the same symptoms on a fresh install of RC1 with only one hard
disk. After the test kernel update, grub/menu.lst looks like
default 5
title openSUSE 10.2
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-23-default root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x333
resume=
/dev/hda1 splash=silent showopts
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18.2-23-default
title Kernel-2.6.18.2-33-default
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-33-default root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x333
resume=/de
v/hda1 splash=silent showopts
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18.2-33-default
The new kernel should be at the top, the old one should have the version in its
title and be at the end. It defaults to the last entry, which is for the xen
kernel.
Problem 1: the old kernel, top of the grub menu, was removed by the new kernel
rpm installation. Selecting this gives a grub error.
Problem 2: the boot default is now the xen kernel. It should be the default
kernel, or whatever was default before.
Problem 3: Although the xen kernel is installed, booting it gives the same grub
error "boot file not found". The entry in menu.lst is bogus, missing most of
the string.
This bug is perhaps not a blocker, but should be fixed before the first kernel
update or SUSE won't lose its current low package management reputation :(
