https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=252911 ------- Comment #68 from benji.weber@gmail.com 2007-04-13 16:30 MST ------- The good news: This new patch correctly sets the new kernel to default. (original patch makes my machine unbootable by selecting a kernel which doesn't boot as default in menu.lst) The bad news: The kernel version is appended to the distribution name now, which looks very ugly, and potentially confusing to users. "2.6.18.2-default" will mean absolutely nothing to most people. This text also overlaps the countdown timer which gives graphical glitches. To add to the confusion the existing entry simply named "openSUSE 10.2" is still there. Given the choice between "openSUSE 10.2" and "openSUSE 10.2 <random numbers here>" people might be confused and pick the "openSUSE 10.2" entry. In my opinion the default should be the distribution name as always before, and any older kernels should be labeled in a meaningful way like : openSUSE 10.2 openSUSE 10.2 [failsafe] openSUSE 10.2 [pre-update] If you really need /all/ the old ones listed (I imagine this would get interesting if you had more than 10 installed, does grub get a scrollbar :s) then I would think the date would be more meaningful than version. openSUSE 10.2 openSUSE 10.2 [failsafe] openSUSE 10.2 (2007-04-13 backup) openSUSE 10.2 (2007-03-15 backup) or similar. -- 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.
