/boot/grub/menu.lst not correct, if another suse linux present
Last modified: 2005-08-19 07:09:51 UTC
Make a new 10.0b2 installation into an empty partition on a machine, where a SuSE 9.3 is present. There will be entries for both systems in /boot/grub/menu.lst with the following errors: - The entry for the old SuSE 9.3 is missing an initrd line and the system will not be bootable, untill the initrd line is added. - If 10.0b1 is installed on /dev/sda (1st drive) and the 9.3 is located on /dev/hda (2nd drive) the menu.lst will show hd(0,X) for both drives! Example: ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: SUSE LINUX 9.3 (/dev/hda6)### title SUSE LINUX 9.3 (/dev/hda6) /// this must be kernel (hd1,5) kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 vga=0x374 selinux=0 splash=silent resume=/dev/hda5 showopts //// Here is the initrd line missing ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### title SUSE LINUX 10.0 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 vga=0x374 selinux=0 resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent showopts initrd /boot/initrd

Removed "initrd" is duplicate of bug 104048 and will be fixed in Beta3.
*** Bug 105574 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Incorrect device has been fixed, check with Beta3. Note that it affected only sections with the 'root' statement and device not specified in the kernel/initrd command.
