[opensuse-factory] 10.2 menu.lst after kernel update
Is the 10.2 perl-Bootloader the same as for factory, or is that off topic here? The kernel update produced at last a bootable system (with the exception of having to manually select the correct grub menu entry for booting, or editing menu.lst). Some of the details of the newly added entries are bad though (I left off the irrelevant parts): title openSUSE 10.2 - 2.6.18.8-0.3 root (hd1,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-0.3-default root=/dev/md0 title Failsafe -- openSUSE 10.2 - 2.6.18.8-0.3 root (hd1,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-0.3-default root=/dev/md0 This has been title openSUSE 10.2 root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-0.1-default root=/dev/md0 title openSUSE 10.2 (disk 2) root (hd1,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-0.1-default root=/dev/md0 for a very good reason: together with /etc/grub.conf setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0) (hd0,4) setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd1) (hd1,4) I get a boot loader installed on each of the two disks, so that when one disk gets removed from the raid1, the system still boots.

title openSUSE 10.2 (disk 2) root (hd1,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-0.1-default root=/dev/md0

I can confirm that I have experienced the same problem (and had to edit menu.lst manually) at least the last couple of kernel updates on 10.2 i386. Now I'm running Linux version 2.6.18.8-0.3-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)) #1 SMP Tue Apr 17 08:42:35 UTC 2007 Rgds, Terje J.

AFAIK it should be basically the same (factory perhaps with a few more fixes).
The kernel update produced at last a bootable system (with the exception of having to manually select the correct grub menu entry for booting, or editing menu.lst).

I suggest to file a bug, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform/openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
