I'm using autoyast to install SuSE 10.0 on a set of systems. I want to configure grub, which works fine using SuSE 9.3.

I want to 
- set the boot loader location to the boot sector of my boot partition
- activate the boot loader partition
- set the boot menu timeout
- set the vga mode
- set the kernel parameters like resume and splash=verbose 

The corresponding part of my config file is 

<bootloader>
 <loader_type>grub</loader_type>
 <location>custom</location>
 <loader_device>/dev/sda1</loader_device>
 <activate config:type="boolean">true</activate>
 <repl_mbr config:type="boolean">false</repl_mbr>

 <global config:type="list">
  <global_entry>
   <key>timeout</key>
   <value config:type="integer">5</value>
  </global_entry>
 </global>

 <sections config:type="list">
  <section>
   <append>selinux=0  resume=/dev/sda8  splash=verbose showopts</append>
   <initial>1</initial>
   <initrd>/boot/initrd</initrd>
   <kernel>/boot/vmlinuz</kernel>
   <lines_cache_id>0</lines_cache_id>
   <name>SuSE Linux 10.0</name>
   <original_name>linux</original_name>
   <root>/dev/sda6</root>
   <type>image</type>
   <vga>794</vga>
  </section>

...

 </sections>
</bootloader>

I'm using the following directive to check the result of my config file

<mode>
 <confirm config:type="boolean">true</confirm>
</mode>

- Autoyast ignores the directives <location> and <loader_device>, instead MBR is selected as the boot loader location.

- The timeout setting in the global section is also ignored. I think all global settings are ignored.

- At last, in the section settings the directive <vga>794</vga> is set to blank and the splash=verbose option is replaced by splash=silent!

- Only activating the boot loader partition is set right. 

Thank you.
