I fixed it for 10.1. Andreas, I suggest we should fix it for 10.0 as well. Do you agree? Since this happens during installation, we cannot change this anymore. That's right, but the bug occurres in installed system as well (if such parameter is added later). Ah, ok: Maintenance-Tracker-2393 Btw. please open a new bug against the release notes and document this under section "Update problems"! Submitted including the patchinfo, bug 119406 was opened for the releaase notes. *** Bug 121981 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** released |
I have an existing /etc/lilo.conf with the following section image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.31 label = linux2431 root = /dev/hdb6 vga = 791 append = "hdc=scsi" Now I change some the lilo.conf with YaST: System->Boot Loader->Section Management ... no changes .. Finish YaST reports an error and asks me, if I like to retry. If I start lilo manually after YaST, I see the following error: $ lilo Added suse93 Added linux26131 * Syntax error at or above line 36 in file '/etc/lilo.conf' The reason for this error is, that YaST changed the line append = "hdc=scsi" to append = hdc=scsi Generally spoken, YaST does not use correct quotings for such kind of arguments.
