Hi, I'm using autoyast to install SuSE 10.0 on a set of systems. I want to configure grub, which works fine using SuSE 9.3. I want to - set the boot loader location to the boot sector of my boot partition - activate the boot loader partition - set the boot menu timeout - set the vga mode - set the kernel parameters like resume and splash=verbose The corresponding part of my config file is <bootloader> <loader_type>grub</loader_type> <location>custom</location> <loader_device>/dev/sda1</loader_device> <activate config:type="boolean">true</activate> <repl_mbr config:type="boolean">false</repl_mbr> <global config:type="list"> <global_entry> <key>timeout</key> <value config:type="integer">5</value> </global_entry> </global> <sections config:type="list"> <section> <append>selinux=0 resume=/dev/sda8 splash=verbose showopts</append> <initial>1</initial> <initrd>/boot/initrd</initrd> <kernel>/boot/vmlinuz</kernel> <lines_cache_id>0</lines_cache_id> <name>SuSE Linux 10.0</name> <original_name>linux</original_name> <root>/dev/sda6</root> <type>image</type> <vga>794</vga> </section> ... </sections> </bootloader> I'm using the following directive to check the result of my config file <mode> <confirm config:type="boolean">true</confirm> </mode> Autoyast ignores the directives <location> and <loader_device>, instead MBR is selected as the boot loader location. The timeout setting in the global section is also ignored. I think all global settings are ignored. At last, in the section settings the directive <vga>794</vga> is set to blank and the splash=verbose option is replaced by splash=silent! Only activating the boot loader partition is set right. Any ideas, what's going wrong? Thanks, -- Thomas Holzapfel Lehrstuhl und Institut fuer Wasserbau und Wasserwirtschaft RWTH Aachen
