Things like this never can be done automatically in a way to please all or mostly all users. But I agree that there could be done more for the user to understand what he could/should do. Nevertheless the error message above does not stop the kernel install, I think it leaves you with a broken bootloader configuration as you had it before ... Please attach the full yast logs (/var/log/YaST2/* /etc/grub.conf /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/device.map) so that I can see what I can do. -- 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.

I only filed a bug because AJ asked me to. After moving my partition, I thought I had done all the configuring that needed doing. Prior to encountering this problem, I had no idea there was such a file as /etc/grub.conf, except for on some versions Fedora, where it exists as a symlink to /boot/grub/grub.conf, which Fedora's Grub uses instead of /boot/grub/menu.lst. -- 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.

I don't know what you mean by "propose new in yast bootloader". All I did was rpm -ivh a kernel. That followed a typical upgrade that followed an (atypical) partition move accompanied by manually and successfully reconfiguring the standard boot config files fstab and menu.lst. Would it be so hard to add a sanity check of grub.conf before using it? -- 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.
