Right.

There are several things about this menu.lst file that I do not understand
(and I hope I take the right angle to look at it), to summarize:

    - there are two openSUSE 10.3 entries (with accompanying Failsafe
      entries):
        - one for kernel 2.6.22.5-10-bigsmp
        - one for kernel 2.6.22.5-14-default

    - the section for the newer kernel (2.6.22.5-14-default) is the default
      section, but it does have "linux-2.6.22.5-14-default" rather than
      "linux" as the "Original name" -- the section with "linux" should be
      the latest one (and most of the time it should be the default section)

    - the section for the newer kernel (2.6.22.5-14-default) does not have a
      valid grub device, but rather "(/dev/hda5)"

    - the kernel and initrd for the XEN kernel are referred to by their
      symlinks, not the full name


Maybe you can help me with the following questions:

    - Was the update to 10.3 done in the running system or after the system
      was booted into the 10.3 installation system?

    - Why would there be two sections for 10.3: one for the default kernel
      and one for a bigsmp kernel?

I will try to find out from the logs, but any information here is much
appreciated.
