Description Vilem Marsik 2008-07-30 15:45:45 UTC 
Installation using AutoYaST, without specifying any bootloader options in the AutoYaST profile.

The system boots then to Failsafe by default, instead of the normal boot.

This happens on a x86_64 machine as well as on a i386 machine.

I was not able to confirm the bug using a manual install ( due to bug #411937 - the system does not boot at all in that case ).

boot menu from i386

In the i386 boot menu, there is also one additional problem - additional non-working boot option is defined (perhaps caused by the original SLES 10 SP2 installation, that was overwritten by the installation)
