Description Terje J. Hanssen 2008-11-27 23:57:55 UTC
On a multiboot system containing partitions and file systems for 
openSUSE 11.0 (/dev/sda7)
sled10 (/dev/sda8)
sled11beta (/dev/sda10)
I installed openSUSE 11.1-RC1 / by reformatting /dev/sda8 with ext3

While the previous sled11beta installation did create its own Grub menu.lst with boot options for the other existing root file systems, openSUSE 11.1-RC1 did only create a menu.lst for booting itself.

Afterwards I therefore had to edit this menu.lst and manually add the two first sections for boot options for openSUSE 11.0 and sled11beta as follows (should have been done automatically):

Yes, I found problem. Fixed in svn and also added to test-suite, so it prevent regression.
