Hmm, and how do you want the sections to be updated? YaST recreates its own sections (which it did), the others were created by you, and it is your task to update them if you need it. Note that sections which are modified are in fact created from scratch. The reason is that there may be needed to update eg. kernel parameters for new kernel and this is safer possibility. The original menu.lst is of course kept during update. I don't know why, but the top sections is missing here. -- # Modified by YaST2. Last modification on Tue Aug 9 00:20:03 CEST 2005 color white/blue black/light-gray default 1 timeout 8 gfxmenu (hd0,1)/boot/message -- 1. There is no 9.3 anymore on the system, so the 9.3 entries are obsolete. Maybe you could rename them to 10.0 and add (user defined). Why not check if the root, kernel and module parameter are exaclty the same and then replace the title. 2. The default choses the second entry "SUSE LINUX 9.3" 3. The SUSE LINUX 10.0 Failsafe entry doesn't look like a failsafe entry. 4. There is a XEN entry, but there is no XEN on my system installed. If the user doesn't remove the entries and updates his SuSE installation 3 times, then he has about 12 - 16 entries in his menu.lst. 3 -> see bug 103865, already fixed. 1, 2 and 4 -> see bug 104039, already fixed. What I missunderstood was what you want to do with the sections. The important is: During update, YaST replaces the sectinos YaST proposed (Linux, Failsage, Memtest, Windows,...). This means that if you add your own section, YaST won't touch it. The only problem will be in the title. I will try to - get the title from the previous distro (from the "linux" section) - if it is included in the new sections AND kernel and initrd point to the same location -> I will modify the labels. I hope this is what you want. That would be great! Thanks. Done in SVN, please, test Beta2. |
I updated my SuSE 9.3 to SUSE 10.0 and grub has kept all 9.3 related entries. I'll attach the relevant lines of y2log. There is a XEN entry too. I don't have a XEN kernel installed. ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### title SUSE LINUX 10.0 root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317 selinux=0 splash=silent splash=silent showopts initrd /boot/initrd ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### title SUSE LINUX 9.3 root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317 selinux=0 splash=silent console=tty0 resume=/dev/hda1 showopts initrd /boot/initrd ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### title SUSE LINUX 9.3 INITNG root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317 selinux=0 splash=silent console=tty0 resume=/dev/hda1 init=/sbin/initng showopts initrd /boot/initrd ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: failsafe### title Failsafe -- SUSE LINUX 9.3 root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=normal showopts ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off noresume selinux=0 barrier=off iommu=noforce 3 initrd /boot/initrd ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: failsafe### title Failsafe -- SUSE LINUX 10.0 root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317 selinux=0 splash=silent splash=silent showopts initrd /boot/initrd ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: xen### title XEN root (hd0,1) module /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317 selinux=0 splash=silent splash=silent showopts kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=458752 module /boot/initrd
