https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223246 Summary: grub: full vmlinuz/initrd path in menu.lst causes problems after update Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: stefan.fent@novell.com ReportedBy: holgi@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: aj@novell.com I saw that you now write the full path of vmlinuz/initrd to menu.lst, like: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-23-default ... initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18.2-23-default This causes trouble after updating, when having two systems on one machine: menu.lst of older system will be read during installation, entries of it will be added to menu.lst of new system. If you update the kernel of the old system, the menu.lst entry on it's boot partition will be changed, but the entry in the menu.lst of the new system will not. So if you boot the old system with the grub/menu.lst of the new system there is a problem. So my suggestion keep the symlinks and still use it in menu.lst -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
