I don't want silent fail, because for some bootloader it is needed report it correctly (like elilo), because refresh doesn't run. -- 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.

This is what I have done: - zypper dup (mostly from openSUSE:Factory and some other repositories) - received errors for every kernel package that was updated. Only way out was "ignore", which left the old kerenl installed (in RPM db, not on disk) and the new one was not in boot loader config. - then I ran bootloader_entry, similar to the command line shown above, to get rid of the old entries. Did not work. - I edited fstab. - again tried bootloader_entry as shown above, now the menu.lst was practically empty (only three entries, the "Floppy" entry, the "Windows" entry and the "Chainload the other installation entry. None of the two installed kernels was in menu.lst, probably because of the update problem. - I edited menu.lst (with the yast bootloader module) to make sure that the two installed kernels (kernel-default and kernel-vanilla) would boot. - I edited menu.lst by hand to correct the yast configuration, so that it really would boot. - I tried to uninstall the two old kernel versions, whcih againg failed, because their entry was no longer in menu.lst. - I uninstalled the old kernels with "rpm -e --noscripts". I doubt that there are still any useful logs around, but I will send you whatever you want ;-) -- 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.

So if it doesn't find any obsolete section, then do nothing and don't die.
