...it only can boot from the last option:
title Kernel-3.7.0-rc2-4-desktop root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-3.7.0-rc2-4-desktop root=/dev/system/root video=1024x600 resume=/dev/system/swap splash=silent quiet showopts initrd /initrd-3.7.0-rc2-4-desktop
But than it searches and corrects things, to find the bootstraps.
Please explain "searches and corrects" in some detail, and what you mean by "find the bootstraps". How does this selection differ in result from what happens when you try the others?
with the others i get the message about the wrongly interpreted fs Error 15, and than press any key to proceed, than the black 'dossy' screen appears to pick another option, you must have seen such screen before. The last entry comes to the same point, but moves on, no error message, looks around gives output about it, i might opt to step boot, to capture the exact message, but eventually comes to kdm, and the rest is init 5.
It does not matter what i change, it is always wrong.
Change using what and how to change? Are you logged in as regular user?
No, if i fire up yast to install or change whatever, i have to be root, and i would not want it any other way.
/boot/vmlinuz /boot/initrd
is what i wanted to be in the lines, and:
video=1024x768 resume=/dev/system/swap splash=silent quiet showopts
As i did not understand what was meant, i tried to change every line,
What was meant by the error message 'name already in use, pick another one'
http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt explains what most mean. The placement of showopts determines how much of cmdline you can see to edit when the Grub menu is on the screen to boot.
but after many tries, the result was the same dialog box and the 'boing', so i assumed another bug, and i quit.
This is in the install bootloader section of yast.
At this point my feelings towards a fresh install grew bigger.
For editing menu.lst apparently you're trying to use the wrong tool. If there was a bug, others would have had the same problem a long time ago.
I always used kate for it, and believe me, i had to correct things many times during my alpha and beta tester days. -- Have a nice day, Oddball.
