https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=256946 Summary: yast does not respect correct grub menu configuration Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: s.handgraaf@xs4all.nl QAContact: jsrain@novell.com yast bootloader can does not respect grub configuration very well. Even if the configuration is good for grub, yast will rewrite the configuration and complain with an errormessage the configuration is no good. The situation: An IBM Thinkpad R40, original MS WinXP disk in hda, SuSE Linux on disk at hdc (in the internal ultrabay slot). For installation of SUSE from DVD from ultrabay player, the hdc disk was temporary placed in hda. Next, to boot from hdc modified grub configuration and instructed bios to boot from ultrabay disk. Grub configuration is good, shows graphical menu and can boot from there in to SUSE at hdc disk of XP at hda disk. No errors. After booting in SUSE, open grub configuration with yast. Even with no changes at all and selecting to accept, yast apperantly start modifying the menu configuration and then complains it can not find a partition. Editing does not matter, yast keeps mangling the configuration and complaining. Rejecting the configuration makes yast remove the original correct line for showing the graphical grub menu. I attached several files to explain the configuration and show the exact error message and mangling. menu.lst.old : original menu config that works perfectly menu.lst : mangled yast output without graphical menu error.txt : error message based on altered configuration by yast itselve -- 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.
