The device.map here maps "/dev/sdb" to "hd1" before and after the
update:

     "/dev/sdb"

2007-09-19 08:29:37 <1> 10.10.0.65(3548) [YCP]
bootloader/routines/lilolike.ycp:956 Updated device map: $[
     "/dev/fd0":"fd0",
     "/dev/sdb":"hd1"
]
------------------------------------------------------------------

"/dev/sda" and "hd0" are not mentioned in the device map before and after
the update. I cannot see why.

The devices in the menu.lst all use "/dev/sda" or "hd0". perl-Bootloader
cannot convert these into each other, they are not mapped in the device.map.

Conclusion so far: the bootloader configuration before the update was
already inconsistent (no mapping for devices used in menu.lst and
grub.conf). The update can not fix this.

Question: what lead to the inconsistent state before the update? Are YaST
logs available for the installation that led to that state?
