I have logged SR#10273247971 for this but I thought I would get peoples thoughts here as well.
Problem is with the <default> global parameter in the <bootloader> section of autoyast.
This works fine:
<bootloader>
<loader_type>lilo</loader_type>
<location>mbr</location>
</bootloader>
Default kernel is SLES_10 as expected.
This doesnt work, during boot loader installation an error is given that there is no default value given in lilo.conf. This occurs if I put an entry in the <default> tag or not.
<bootloader>
<global>
<default>SLES_10</default>
<gfxmenu></gfxmenu>
<prompt>1</prompt>
<timeout config:type="integer">5</timeout>
</global>
<loader_type>lilo</loader_type>
<location>mbr</location>
</bootloader>
ie: This also gives the same error for the default tag. It should default to SLES_10 - I should not have to specify it.
<bootloader>
<global>
<default></default>
<gfxmenu></gfxmenu>
<prompt>1</prompt>
<timeout config:type="integer">5</timeout>
</global>
<loader_type>lilo</loader_type>
<location>mbr</location>
</bootloader>
And this also the same error:
<bootloader>
<global>
<gfxmenu></gfxmenu>
<prompt>1</prompt>
<timeout config:type="integer">5</timeout>
</global>
<loader_type>lilo</loader_type>
<location>mbr</location>
</bootloader>
The reason I am doing this is because I do *not* want a graphical menu so I want to specify nothing for <gfxmenu> which seems to work ok.
The text of the error during the bootloader config/installation phase is:
"Value expected for 'default' at or above line 11 in file /etc/lilo.conf."
And sure enough in /mnt/etc/lilo.conf at that point of the installation default has no value.
thanks
