https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=390659 Summary: autoyast bootloader config: empty settings are ignored (impossible to entry w/o initrd) Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: AutoYaST AssignedTo: ug@novell.com ReportedBy: gernot@hillier.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I'm trying to auto-install a system with memtest. Memtest doesn't seem to work when GRUB loads some initrd. So I simply want YaST to create the following entry in menu.lst: title Memtest root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/memtest.bin However, it seems to be impossible to specify empty settings in autoinst.xml. When I e.g. try the following section: <section> <image>/boot/memtest.bin</image> <name>Memtest</name> <type>image</type> </section> Then I end up with something like title Memtest root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/memtest.bin root=/dev/disk/... ... a lot of other params ... initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.25-rc9-17-default Specifying empty settings like <append></append>, <initrd></initrd> doesn't change anything. Then only workaround which comes close to what I want is using <section> <append> </append> <image>/boot/memtest.bin</image> <kernel>/boot/memtest.bin</kernel> <initrd> </initrd> <name>Memtest</name> <root> </root> <type>image</type> </section> which gives me the (invalid) bootloader entry title Memtest root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/memtest.bin root= initrd But - whatever I tried, I didn't find a way to disable writing the "initrd" line (the weird root= parameter isn't nice, but it doesn't hurt memtest at least). -- 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.
