If /etc/grub.conf is bad, Yast intalls grubs incorrectly. I said that I had to repair that install overwriting the MBR using dd to copy my backup of the MBR over what Yast/grub module had broken.
I did not have to repair the menu, that was correct.
If I knew how to correct that file yast will not break it again next time (when I update to 10.2)
For what it's worth, I had all kinds of problems with 10.1's grub, and manually installed grub many times. I assumed it was because my root was raid1 (/dev/md0). Anyway, 10.2 Beta 1 and 2 left me needing to install grub manually still, but much to my surprise and delight, RC 1 worked straight away. Here is my present /etc/grub.conf. jmorris:/home/joe # cat /etc/grub.conf setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0,4) (hd0,4) quit Quite a bit shorter than in 9.3, but it has worked flawlessly now through a change (silent to verbose option) and 2 kernel updates (which shouldn't mess with grub but used to). So, at least RC1's bootloader looks very promising. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
