Hello to you all, I wrote for the following bootloader part and Yast will crashes with errormessage (xml is checked with tidy): .... bootloader/routines/misc.ycp:974 invalid cast of vcp value: [$["section_entry"]:$["key"]:"initrd"........ Should be but is not a map I try to specifiy every section because in the future the Knoppix and Windows sections are password locked. <---- menu.lst ---> color white/blue black/light-gray default 0 timeout 8 gfxmenu (hd0,0)/boot/message ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### title Linux kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 vga=0x317 splash=silent desktop resume=/dev/hda2 showopts initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd title Knoppix kernel (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 vga=791 ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=de apm=power-off nomce quiet initrd (hd0,2)/boot/initrd.img ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: windows### title Windows root (hd0,3) chainloader +1 < --- > <---- autoist.xml -----> <!-- Bootloader Konfiguration --> <bootloader> <global config:type="list"> <global_entry><key>color</key><value>Wb:kw:Wb:Wb</value></global_entry> <global_entry><key>default</key><value>0</value></global_entry> <global_entry><key>timeout</key><value>8</value></global_entry> <global_entry><key>gxmenu</key><value>(hd0,0)/boot/message</value></global_entry> <sections config:type="list"> <!-- Linux Sektion --> <section> <section_entry><key>title</key><value>Linux</value></section_entry> <section_entry><key>kernel</key><value>(hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 vga=0x317 splash=silent desktop resume=/dev/hda2 showopts</value></section_entry> <section_entry><key>initrd</key><value>(hd0,0)/boot/initrd</value></section_entry> </section> <!-- Knoppix Sektion --> <section> <section_entry><key>title</key><value>Knoppix</value></section_entry> <section_entry><key>kernel</key><value>(hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 vga=791 ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=de apm=power-off nomce quiet</value></section_entry> <section_entry><key>initrd</key><value>(hd0,2)/boot/initrd.img</value></section_entry> </section> <!-- Windows Sektion --> <section> <section_entry><key>title</key><value>Windows</value></section_entry> <section_entry><key>root</key><value>(hd0,3)</value></section_entry> <section_entry><key>chainloader</key><value>+1</value></section_entry> </section> </sections> </global> </bootloader> Couldn't I write it like this? No examples from A. Nashif explaines how to specify a section. I read it from the bootloader.dtd file. -- Thx for your help Ralf Neugebauer Fachhochschule Osnabrück Albrechstr. 30 49076 Osnabrück Tel. (0541) 969-3673 Fax.
