https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=305411 Summary: No boot entry for old kernel Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 2 Platform: IA64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: aosthof@novell.com ReportedBy: schwab@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- After installing a second (different) version of the kernel there is no entry in elilo.conf any more for the old kernel. Although there are now two boot entries both are pointing to the same (new) kernel. After removing the new kernel again the bootloader config only contains a reference to the no longer existing kernel version, and the unversioned links in /boot become dangling as well. # ll /boot/ total 19480 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1061486 20.
