           Summary: Bootloader configuration from SLES9 failed, original
                    bootloader destroyed
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: AutoYaST
        AssignedTo: ug@novell.com
        ReportedBy: vmarsik@novell.com
         QAContact: qa@suse.de
          Found By: System Test

I installed openSuSE 10.3 using AutoYaST.
Preserving all the boot entries was necessary.

1) Using YaST2 / Misc / Autoinstallation , I dumped the configuration from the
old system ( running SLES9 ).

2) I took the whole <bootloader> configuration from SLES9, and renamed <hdX> to
<sdX> where required.

3) The installation program complained about wrong device mapping for GRUB.

4) I was not able to fix this error by manually editing the GRUB settings, so
after some three four retries I decided to give up, and to use the old
bootloader.

5) I answered not to fix the GRUB installation manually. The installation
proceeded.

6) After reboot, the machine was not able to start at all.

This seems to be a bug - I would accept either a working new bootloader, or
preserving the old one (if the new AutoYaST could not work with the old
format).
