I use my /dev/hda1 installation for the same purpose as it is used separate boot partition in Bob's. It has complete /boot directory that is used completely only for version that is installed on /dev/hda1 (stable version). For all other versions, installed on other partitions, are used the grub related entries in /boot/grub and /boot/message file while kernel stuff for each version is located on coresponding partition in /boot directory. This way I have no problems to update kernel using YaST, and I don't try my luck by overwriting MBR on each installation. I have good base for repairs of installations on other partitions. Even if I move new version that deserves attribute stable to /dev/hda1 everything still works if I keep same /boot/grub/menu.lst. The only quirk is that I have to use Advanced tab in Instalation proposal to tell SUSE installer not to install grub. Than later to edit manually section for particular partition in /boot?grub/menu.lst on /dev/hda1. With new SUSE versions that is mostly change in line title SUSE <version> the rest is generic. BTW, have anybody tested how is handled resume option on systems with few installations. Is it possible to happen that you request suspend to disk in one installation and resume in another that is default? -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
