Hi, due to some complains about using values for new kernel entries from sysconfig I change behavior in perl-Bootloader to use value from menu.lst and only when old entry is not found use as backup sysconfig value. I also merge some fixes from SLES. Are there volunteers to test new package? ( mainly test updating kernel packages, try if manual changes to menu.lst preserve kernel update ). I don't want break factory in such sensitive part.
New package can be found at ( my home repo - package perl-Bootloader)) http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jreidinger/openSUSE_Factory/ (factory) http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jreidinger/openSUSE_11.4/ (11.4)
I've done a quick test on openSUSE11.4. The procedure is 1. Install new perl-Bootloader (openSUSE_11.4) 2. Manually modify kernel command-line options in menu.lst 3. Update kernel 4. Watch difference between menu.lst and menu.lst.old It seems all work like you said. The manual changes are honered and kept in new config. The only exception is that "root=..." was not kept for me (I changed it from root=/dev/disk/by-id/...part2 to /dev/sda2). But since sysconfig is not used to configure the "root= " statically. This is not considered an issue in my opinion. Thanks, Michael
Thanks Josef
