[Bug 440445] New: Custom grub menu overwritten when kernel is upgraded
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=440445 Summary: Custom grub menu overwritten when kernel is upgraded Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: melkevizth@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- This is more an annoyance than anything else, but it still probably should be addressed. Anytime the kernel is updated, the menu.lst file is updated automatically like a new installation from disk. This is a problem when extensive editing has been done on a multiple boot system. You are then (most likely) forced to boot into openSUSE after the kernel upgrade and manually restore the menu.lst file. -- 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.

If you are editing your configuration files by hand, they probably end up with these files replaced just because some of them are generated using sysconfig and other places. Moving to bootloader experts to eventually correct me and explain it more precisely. -- 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.

However, I can't believe that this behavior couldn't be handled properly anyhow. Also, if yast needs to be used, then perhaps the install script should be updated to find other operating system installations better and add them automatically to the grub menu. -- 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.

Market as duplicate of general kernel upgrade improve bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 427854 *** https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427854 -- 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.
