Actually, on a running system installed with GRUB, the YaST2-bootloader seems to be broken. Clicking on "Propose new configuration" on an installed system creates an near-empty "menu.lst" file as in case 2) from above. Also, the "mkinitrd" command does not seems to create an initrd at all. I remove the current initrd/vmlinuz files, but running "mkinitrd" exists within 1-2 seconds and nothing happens. System is unbootable after reboot. switch back to grub1 nor proposing grub1 is no longer supported. So closing as won't fix. |

Go to Yast -> System -> Bootloader and switch to GRUB. 1) Select "Propose new config" leads to a "-kdump" initrd being installed in /boot/grub/menu.lst (while kdump is not installed), also results in unbootable system! ---------- # Modified by YaST2.
