DEFAULT_NAME is parameters which get all newly added kernel and after review of comment #0 I see that both desktop entry has valid parameters which is different from failsafe one. So I don't see any bug.

Eh, sorry for confusing, DEFAULT_NAME is not used anymore. It is obsolete part which is not used anymore. Only APPEND and VGA is in use now. NAME is just preparation to a feature which is not yet implemented. So I close this bug as it work as expected. -- 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.
