When old kernel is removed then it remove default section and bootloader choose one of windows section. And when add new kernel then doesn't change default, because he doesn't have information, that before default is linux. reminder - add to remove comment to global section that default is removed and check if this comment exist when add new. -- 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.

Fix will be created after alpha phase of OSS 11.1 because maybe solution is needed also by some feature and that can decide format how transport information about previous default option. -- 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.

That seems odd..

just logically speaking: ----------- if in old_menu.list default=0 remove the old opensuse entries (as marked by Yast) add two entries (opensuse11 and opensuse failsafe) at the top of menu.list

default is opensuse11 wich is at the top of menu.list so default =0

else new_default = old_default + number of added entries - removed entries..

---------------

i have not tried to find the scripts responsible but it seems to do something like

: added 2 entries to menu.list default = old_default +2

forgetting the REMOVED entries..

Am i right?

no, problem is, that in normal case new kernel is added and then old removed, so you add new entries and after remove old, script switch to new. But from log I see that first is removed old (so only windows can be booted - default change to it) and after it new kernel is added but script correctly use old default (which is windows from previous remove). So I still don't know why old kernel is removed before installing new. -- 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.

hmmm. Could it be that an other error (let's say an unresolved dependancy or something) that chrashed the install could have invoked it..

i had on 1 out of three machines an error like that.. (can't remeber what it was)

Interesting, can you provide exact way how you upgrade? I try emulate this update(from 10.3 to 11.0) in virtual box and it works as expected (first add new and then remove old). I install 10.3 and then change DVD to 11.0 and choose install->update and it let live my windows partition and default is correctly set to linux. -- 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.
