Up until recently, my autoyast.xml file never had a bootloader section at all, and everything worked fine. I recently needed to set a few kernel parameters at boot, which forced me to have to add a bootloader section, as follows: <bootloader> <global config:type="list"> <global_entry> <key>prompt</key> <value config:type="boolean">false</value> </global_entry> </global> <kernel_parameters>console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0</kernel_parameters> <loader_device></loader_device> <loader_type>grub</loader_type> <location>mbr</location> <sections config:type="list"/> </bootloader> Unfortunately, the entire thing is a mess now. For starters, no default is set in /boot/grub/menu.lst. All it has is a line with the word "default" and nothing else. I'm also rather annoyed by the fact that SUSE isn't consistent from one release to another on their syntax for the default. Sometimes its "default 0" other times its "default=0". Additionally, no timeout entry appears at all. All that I want is to have: default=0 timeout=3 The autoyast documentation is rather lacking in how to specify any of these parameters. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.
