order of elements is hardcoded
Where and why?
and don't see much reason to have root which allow change of itself ( if it work, then let it be and if not, then change it permanently )
In Factory, sometimes it doesn't work and some experimenting is necessary to get a boot and find out why. e.g. for a long while, root=LABEL= syntax was not working, and still might not be in certain cases. Also, modern root=/dev/disk* syntax makes most kernel lines are longer than the text editor screen is wide (wrapping makes more confusion), which means also /dev/disk entries are too long for human brains to remember for manual typing. And, sometimes troubleshooting requires /dev/sdX# syntax. When dropping back to text mode to edit cmdline and mistake is made, grub doesn't recover nicely, and reboot to restart Grub is often required to retry. So, showopts before root= in gfxmenu is nice facility.
Also I want runlevel number as last item on Grub kernel lines. I would expect separate vga= configuration line must be null in my /etc/sysconfig/bootloader for that to happen. On fresh install this cannot happen because there is no way in installation to specify no vga config.
Also still problem is that it is hardcoded, so it is not easy way to do.
Again, hardcoded where? It seems to me during installation select list could also have additional option to make vga=normal not result on default kernel cmdline made by perl-Bootloader. -- 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.
