Description Rebecca Walter 2005-08-11 08:03:11 UTC

The installation settings (the list where you click change) has no information 
about boot.  I am updating my system and would like to control the changes to 
booting. (I have multiple root partitions)

I didn't have control over my boot and it didn't do what I wanted. My system 
used to boot to my other root partition by default (hda7). Now it boots to 
hda8.  I am additionally concerned that more is wrong.  9.3 appeared to be 
preselected in the boot screen. I touched nothing but it booted into 10.0. 
The already attached logs are for the completed installation.

The main problem is that I cannot read the bootloader settings from the target 
system during the update proposal (because there is an incompatible version of 
the system installed). So I don't know how to give you this control (without 
very crude hacks). 
 
I will check the logs to find whether I can help you somehow...

Comment 4 Jiri Srain 2005-08-11 13:26:03 UTC

YaST didn't match the old sections from 9.3 with the ones to be created for 
10.0. Fixed in SVN, will go to Beta2. 
 
Xen section wasn't created correctly, also fixed in SVN.
