Since the update of SLED10 to SP1, upon boot time, i now have 2 "new" menu selections. They are: Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10-2.6.16.46-0.12 and Failsafe-Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10-2.6.16.46-0.12
It use to only have 2 selections- Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 Failsafe-Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop
After the SP install, it now shows exactly like this: Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10-2.6.16.46-0.12 and Failsafe-Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10-2.6.16.46-0.12 Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 Failsafe-Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop
The default selection at time of boot is highlighted on Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10
And all selections boot into the desktop but why do i now have 2 extra selections, which ones am i suppose to use and how to get rid of the 2 extra selections?
As Russ already said, this is a known issue. The original 2 entries should be deleted in case of a kernel update, but they aren't. This will be fixed with the next maintenance update. Thus, the last (original) 2 entries - "Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10" and "Failsafe -- Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10" are redundant, you can just delete them either by using the YaST2 Bootloader module or by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst manually. In case of lilo, you can do the same by editing /etc/lilo.conf. If you manually edit those configuration files, be aware to set the "default" value to the first entry, so it gets booted by default. I hope this helps.
