[opensuse-factory] Notes on 11.0 Alpha3 installation: GRUB menu.lst
Something strange happened to GRUB menu.lst after update, but that is known problem, to some extent: http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.0_dev There must be some time to stop adding new entries in menu.lst, and cleanup the junk. This should be possible at least for previous long entries that are after update invalid and perl-Bootloader knows about them. Besides what is the purpose of adding the long entry that is identical as the one that uses symlinks. To have chance to create junk pile in menu.lst. Here is mine after removing all junk. ***************************************************************************** # Modified by YaST2.
