https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214935 Summary: Entries in menu.lst still use links "vmlinuz" and "initrd" to load the corresponding section Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: aosthof@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com When installing a fresh system - thus no update - the symlinks "vmlinuz" and "initrd" still will be used in menu.lst to load the corresponding section. This shouldn't be: If one wants to remove an existing kernel per "rpm -e <kernel-name>", the existing sections, which include those symlinks, won't get removed. Nearly the same problem appears when installing a new kernel besides an existing one. In this case, the new entry in menu.lst uses again symlinks and the entry related to the former kernel uses *.previous symlinks to load these sections. E.g. a wrong entry looks like this: ----------------------------------- title openSUSE 10.2 root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 vga=0x31a resume=/dev/sda1 splash=silent showopts initrd /boot/initrd But it should look like this: ----------------------------- title openSUSE 10.2 -- Kernel-2.6.18.1-7-default root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.1-7-default root=/dev/sda2 vga=0x31a resume=/dev/sda1 splash=silent showopts initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18.1-7-default -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
