Description Alexander Osthof 2008-12-03 10:09:38 UTC

I've installed openSUSE 11.1 RC2 on a second partition (sda3, primary). During the installation, the summary of the bootloader configuration said that the entry of the old installation (on sda2, primary) will be included. 

Nevertheless, looking at menu.lst after the installation has finished, the old entry wasn't included. I'm not sure if this also happens with Windows installation, but if so, this would be quite annoying and customers could get upset.

Attach the logs, please.

Yet another duplicate?

Comment 2 Josef Reidinger 2008-12-03 10:26:24 UTC

I think yes, because if proposal correctly set it, it must be bad filter of menu section, but logs confirm it.

Comment 5 Josef Reidinger 2008-12-03 15:31:28 UTC

yes, it is same case, menu section missing configfile key due to bad filter invalid keys. (and removed as it is after new read invalid type)
