Hi,
I have question for middle experienced user of opensuse. Often is quite
useful for users to have documentation when kernel upgrade fail because
bootloader update failed to different reasons. Or also what they need
manually edit if something goes bad as in
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224476. So my question where
you expect documentation about this (some howto or FAQ and also describe
process what happen during it)? Manpage for update-kernel script? Or
some comments in some config file? Please expect that bootloader is not
only grub, but also for other architectures (powerLilo etc.).

I think from reading the only other reply and looking at the debian
config, the conclusion could be drawn that a text grub howto in the boot
directory would be in order, lilo.conf is easy to edit but I find grub
very complicated.
