[Bug 261784] New: should not automatically move vga= from after showopts to ahead of showopts
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=261784 Summary: should not automatically move vga= from after showopts to ahead of showopts Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 2plus Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mrmazda@ij.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com When menu.lst already exists and YaST modifies it, such as when a new kernel is compiled and installed with make, it moves the vga= parameter from wherever I had it (usually at the end of the line) to ahead of the showopts parameter. It's highly annoying that I can't use menu.lst as is when YaST messes with it. vga= is the parameter I most often want to change on boot, so it needs to be readily visible and easily accessible. The only way that can happen now is if I edit it each time YaST has messed with it. YaST should leave showopts as nearly as possible in the same position it finds it instead of shuffling parameters around. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

The installer accepts kernel parameters such as splash=0 and vga=788 and dutifully they are included on the kernel line in menu.lst. However, they are always followed by splash=silent and showopts, which overrides splash=0 and hides the vga entry. When these optional parameters have been submitted to the installer, YaST should put them at the end of the kernel line, not before splash=silent and showopts. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
