https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231289 Summary: update breaks LILO (and GRUB) setup Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: koenig@linux.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I've updated my server from 10.0 to 10.2 with retail DVD9. for historic reasons (hw raid, LVM, and updated over many releases) it still used LILO. the old 10.0 lilo.conf looked like this: -------------------------------------------------- default = Linux .. image = /boot/vmlinuz ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### label = Linux append = "selinux=0 resume=/dev/sda6 splash=silent showopts" .. -------------------------------------------------- and the 10.2 yast update converted it to -------------------------------------------------- default = Linux .. image = /boot/vmlinuz ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### label = oS_10.2 append = "resume=/dev/sda6 splash=silent showopts" -------------------------------------------------- leaving the default label but changing the label for the actual image giving the following LILO error: Added oS_10.2 .. Fatal: Default image doesn't exist. since this wasn't too obvious within yast gui, I tried to convert to GRUB (no problem anymore these days, and all other systems already use GRUB). I asked yast to convert the existing boot config to grub which created a totally bogus menu.lst which doesn't specify any kernel images at all (complete file:) -------------------------------------------------- # Modified by YaST2.
