Since /etc/grub.conf is not modified during update, it must have been that case before the update. If your /etc/grub.conf was correct before update, installation would have succeeded. Update of bootloader with broken configuration files cannot work (and since there is no bootloader configuration UI during update, they cannot even be fixed to match user's expectation). -- 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.
