https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224828 ------- Comment #1 from jplack@novell.com 2006-11-30 03:58 MST ------- Yes, during update, we're in inst-sys, so bootloader_entry is not called to replace the sections affected by the updated kernel. and yast2-bootloader update code recently only updates section with original_name 'linux' and does not scan for section validity. thus the only place to fix this is yast2-bootloader -- 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 update of the kernel did not remove the old linux and failsafe sections: - openSUSE 10.2 - Failsafe -- openSUSE 10.2 This has been fixed in the bootloader_entry script in perl-Bootloader. The fix was not on RC1 though. Also, the kernel and initrd lines here still use the names of the links instead of the files with version numbers. Thus, they would not have been removed anyway. Newer yast2-bootloaders use the full file names with version, so the removal would have worked. When the linux section would have been gone at the end of the update, the linux section would have been recreated. To comment #2: The removal of old entries by the postuninstall script of the kernel does not depend on YAST_IS_RUNNING. It is done unconditionally. It did not work with the old bootloader_entry that still uses the --name parameter, and because the file names were still link names. This is an issue between RCs only. 2. The kernel was updated during the update to RC4, but the old entry for Kernel-2.6.18.2-33-default was not removed. This should not have happened, because the postuninstall script should have removed it. I need to reproduce this. I believe at least when the Kernel-2.6.18.2-33-default section was gone, a different section would have been made the default. Checking this as well. -- 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.
