Tried upgrade Installation from 10.3 to 11 RC1 DVD install.
Multiboot System with Grub using Suse, WIN XP and 2000.
When the Installation finished grub was not able to boot windows.

Why ever Installer has changed the menu.lst to not working parameters for the
windows partitions.

Installer has changed rootnoverify and chainloader. There where no changes in
partioning within the upgrade installation.
After changing the parameters to the old values both win installations started
ok.
Why touching win sections within upgrade installation ?
