Precisely.

If /etc/grub.conf is bad, Yast intalls grubs incorrectly. I said that I 
had to repair that install overwriting the MBR using dd to copy my backup 
of the MBR over what Yast/grub module had broken.

I did not have to repair the menu, that was correct.

If I knew how to correct that file yast will not break it again next time 
(when I update to 10.2)
