пишет: What script using entries from /etc/sysconfig/bootloader? I've trying to set XEN_APPEND parameter, but this ignored by yast-bootloader, and even cleared after yast-bootloader run.
This is used by perl-Bootloader (update-bootloader) if current bootloader is set to GRUB (legacy) or LILO.
No, please no rumors. The file was introduced to fix problem when you switch different flavors of kernel. In such case it can happen that old kernel is removed before new one appear. In such case your kernel append line disappear and is empty -> users complain. So I introduce these lines to /etc/sysconfig/bootloader where yast2-bootloader store kernel append which customer choose. Important part is - IT IS USED ONLY WHEN NO OLD KERNEL APPEND IS FOUND. Reason is that many users aren't familiar with this file and edit directly lilo.conf, elilo.conf or menu.lst so we want to preserve even users manual change. So values in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader are used only as fallback defaults! Only important think in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader is bootloader type, so perl-bootloader know which bootloader update and how.
grub2-mkconfig seems to ignore this too.
Yes, I could not find where XEN options can be set for GRUB2 in yast, at least after cursory check.
yes, grub2 ignores it. Josef -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
