Because last time I let Yast touch grub, when I updated to 10.1, my system would not boot. I had to overwrite the MBR from a backup using 'dd'. Now, when I boot, it says the message file has a format error and to press a key, throwing me into the text screen boot menu instead of the nice graphical one. I have tried replacing that message file from another install to no avail.
NAICT,
cer@nimrodel:~> wtf NAICT Gee... I don't know what NAICT means...
/etc/grub.conf is nothing but configuration information for grub-install, not for using grub to boot. Grub's menu configuration lives in /boot/grub/menu.lst, unless you're using Fedora or RedHat.
Precisely. 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) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
