[Bug 858448] New: bogus content in dracut man page (/boot/grub/grub.conf)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=858448 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=858448#c0 Summary: bogus content in dracut man page (/boot/grub/grub.conf) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 13.2 Milestone 0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Documentation AssignedTo: ke@suse.com ReportedBy: mrmazda@earthlink.net QAContact: ke@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Second paragraph under "Boot parameters" in current 13.2 dracut man page contains the following: "The kernel command line usually can be configured in /boot/grub/grub/conf, .." That language applies only to Fedora and its derivatives that use Grub Legacy (and lately they haven't even had a Grub Legacy option). /boot/grub/grub.conf does not exist in openSUSE. The corresponding file for Grub Legacy in openSUSE is /boot/grub/menu.lst. For Grub2 (which I don't use, and taboo at installation time) it would probably be /boot/grub/grub.cfg or /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. -- 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.
