Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain@novell.com ReportedBy: dieter.jurzitza@t-online.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100723 SUSE/3.6.8-0.1.1 Firefox/3.6.8 Installing openSUSE 11.3 I found that the kernel mode setting is a showstopper for my system. I added "nomodeset" "vga=1600x1200" to the boot commandline of the kernel (editing /boot/grub/menu.lst). A new kernel has been distributed via update today. After installation, both entries vanished from the menu, forcing me to reset my machine after reboot as I did not expect this to happen. The kernel installer should not touch parameters added to the boot commandline when installing new kernels. This is an unexpected and problematic behaviour I. e. when administrating machines remotely. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add "nomodeset" to the boot commandline 2. update kernel 3. "nomodeset" is removed -> should not happen Actual Results: see above Expected Results: keep manually added parameters in the kernel command line. Nobody does this for fun, especially not with "nomodeset" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
