The installation of M6 did not finish, because of the known 945GM graphics card bug at the time, so I couldn't test it at the time. Then I went on holidays... Now I installed successfully RC1 and what happens is the following: 11.3 creates (correctly in my opinion) an entry pointing to the boot partition from my 11.1 install, so that I get the full GRUB menu from that installation if I select that entry. It was just coincidence that the "Debug - openSUSE 11.1" is the first item in the old GRUB menu and 11.3 used that as the label for this option, which ultimately is OK. So, I think the menu is actually fine as it is. I would not know how to improve the entry, if the idea is to point to the older version of the GRUB menu. So, I am closing this bug as a non-issue. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
