Description Andreas Klein 2005-08-18 19:21:06 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:

Removed "initrd" is duplicate of bug 104048 and will be fixed in Beta3. 
Comment 4 Jiri Srain 2005-08-19 07:03:28 UTC
*** Bug 105574 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 5 Jiri Srain 2005-08-19 07:09:51 UTC
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.
