https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299651 Summary: Used yast to switch from bigsmp to default kernel resulted in corrupted menu.lst Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: raffo@cdi.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer While testing beta1, decided to swap the bigsmp kernel for the default one. after reboot, the boot menu entries were different. the menu.lst file modifications lost other entries I had there. This laptop has SLED10, Windows and OpenSuse 10.3, after the kernel change, the SLED10 entry was lost and the extra kernel options "vga=0x317 resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent showopts" The other effect shown was a corrupted X server. The bottom of the screen had garbage shown. After I restored the original bigsmp, the kernel options were still missing and the X server still showed garbage. I restored the kernl options manually and rebooted. The X server is OK now. -- 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.

The reason why the old kernel was removed is that YaST first deleted the old kernel and afterwards downloaded new one. The network connection is not the only thing that can break - the package may be missing on the media, its signature may be wrong, etc. It is not possible to download everything first and then start the transaction (since some users do not have enough free disk space). Passing to Olaf to try to find a way to preserve the kernel parameters in case of kernel removal followed by kernel installation. However, this is definitly not a blocker. -- 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.
