[Bug 427854] New: some entries removed from menu. lst and order of entries changed after kernel update
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427854 Summary: some entries removed from menu.lst and order of entries changed after kernel update Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jaanvajakas@hot.ee QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=240615) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=240615) my original menu.lst and the menu.lst and menu.lst.old generated during the kernel update After a kernel update (this time from 2.6.25.11-0.1 to 2.6.25.16-0.1, but the same behavior has occurred with previous kernel updates), some GRUB menu entries, that I have manually added to menu.lst, get removed. Also the order of the entries is changed: the failsafe openSUSE menu item for the new kernel becomes the second menu option but the failsafe item for the old kernel was sixth. Expected behavior: only two entries - openSUSE and failsafe openSUSE - should get replaced with the ones for newer kernel versions, no additional entries should be removed and the order of the entries should not be changed. In the attachment menu.zip, the file menu.lst.original is my original /boot/grub/menu.lst, the file menu.lst is the new /boot/grub/menu.lst (after restart after the kernel update) and the file menu.lst.old is the file /boot/grub/menu.lst.old that seems to be generated during the kernel update where new entries have been added but no entries have been removed yet. Of course I can always manually recover my menu.lst from menu.lst.old, it is a bit tedious to do it after each kernel update. -- 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.

I hope this should be solved in some feature, where is say what is good order. Removing SuSE 11 paigaldus I cannot find why this is removed if I don't have logs. (log is /var/log/Yast2/perl-BL-standalone-log). So please attach this logs, thanks. -- 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.

If I wanted to change the order of the entries, I would use the Boot Loader section in YaST (or edit menu.lst manually), not rely on the feature of "auto-sorting" the menu each time after kernel update. So it seems to me that the question of "good order" is important only in the openSuse installer, not in the case of a kernel update. -- 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.

I try find sollution, but it is only feature, so it will be in next product. There is more problems. At first that don't change comment only show extended type for section. Second problem is that this bootloader handling is done in in post scripts of rpms and upgrade kernel is install new and remove old. So perl-Bootloader script to used in this post scripts doesn't know if after adding new kernel is old removed or not. I try find the best solution and discuss it on factory list. I start study logs, why old entry is removed. -- 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.

So this probably is the reason why the two entries were removed. (I still have a vague feeling that some time ago the menu entries worked (ie. kernel and initrd files existed), but the entries "CD" and "SuSE 11 paigaldus" still got removed by kernel updates. But I cannot provide any evidence right now (before next kernel update) and I might remember it incorrectly.) -- 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.
