Description Martin Vidner 2005-10-25 14:11:30 UTC 
The machine to be updated had SL 9.3 with all updates and had been upgraded release by release since SL 7.3. Consequently it uses LILO as the boot loader.
When upgrading to SL 10.0 (Retail), in the dialog Finishing basic installation a yes-no popup appears "An error occurred while installing the boot loader, Try configuration again?"

The problem is that a section for XEN was created. GRUB is the only bootloader which supports XEN. Fixed it, in order not to create XEN section for other loaders than GRUB during update.
