https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=424095 Summary: perl-bootloader does it's task incorrectly (Grub) Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: tittiatwork@hotmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- It seems that the new perl-bootloader is not working properly. With every kernel-update all the start-up options (e.g. resume=, showopts, failsafe-options, etc) disappear. They have to be manually added if a failsafe option is required. AFter a kernel update currently the failsafe option is equal to the standard boot process. So if something goes wrong during the bootprocess, then the failsafe option will not help either. This could render the system in an useless state, unless the user knows exactly which options to add to the grub boot line. As indicated I have Grub installed, so I do not know if this happens also with Lilo. If Lilo is fine, then I might consider to switch.
