[Bug 643984] New: want option to have no vga= on default kernel line in menu.lst at initial installation
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=643984 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=643984#c0 Summary: want option to have no vga= on default kernel line in menu.lst at initial installation Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jreidinger@novell.com ReportedBy: mrmazda@earthlink.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- from: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620434#c19
Also I want runlevel number as last item on Grub kernel lines. I would expect separate vga= configuration line must be null in my /etc/sysconfig/bootloader for that to happen. On fresh install this cannot happen because there is no way in installation to specify no vga config.
Also still problem is that it is hardcoded, so it is not easy way to do.
Again, hardcoded where? It seems to me during installation select list could also have additional option to make vga=normal not result on default kernel cmdline made by perl-Bootloader.
Yes, it sounds reasonable. Could you please open separate bug report to easier track as it is out of context of this bug report? Thanks -- 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.

Now it is read from /etc/grub.conf 4) Yes, it is problem of hard-coded parameters. It more looks like a feature which is possible ( e.g. via pseudo parameter %vga% which is then expanded...so please fill a feature in openfate and if my managers decide I can implement it - or if anyone create patch I can review it and add to code). So for me it looks like it work as expected. If your append doesn't contain any vga= and vga mode is unspecified then no nothing should be set. Could you retry it without vga= in kernel line? -- 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.
