Bug 923458

/etc/sysconfig/bootloader defines:

LOADER_TYPE="grub"
DEFAULT_APPEND="resume=/dev/vda1 splash=silent quiet  showopts"
DEFAULT_VGA="0x317"
FAILSAFE_APPEND="apm=off noresume edd=off powersaved=off nohz=off highres=off processor.max_cstate=1 nomodeset x11failsafe"

XEN_VGA="0x317"
CYCLE_DETECTION="no"
CYCLE_NEXT_ENTRY="1"

This is a continues updated openSUSE system.

Hi, Lars. I need y2logs to check what happens. Also how do you update? Via DVD or zypper dup? grub1 is no longer supported for TW.

See the attached y2log-S07o86.tar.gz

zypper up is the command I use in general first.

After that finished I check if calling zypper dup would pull in or change more.

Sure, but YaST should if possible show a bit nicer message. ;)

Thanks, I just need to be sure which part is affected.

agreed. I just want to verify which way you got there. I add it to our roadmap.

y2logs tgz from 20150516 TW host gx745

64 bit TW host gx745 here starting 'yast2 bootloader &' from konsole5 matches almost identically comment 0, except the system is without grub2* installed, with Grub Legacy installed, and with gfxboot* installed. The message popup is identical to that in comment 0. The main difference is that I confirm no bootloader, because the select list is missing an offer of Grub Legacy. /etc/sysconfig/bootloader's uncommented non-blank lines:

LOADER_TYPE="grub"
SECURE_BOOT="no"
CYCLE_DETECTION="no"
CYCLE_NEXT_ENTRY="1"

fix for crash is in review https://github.com/yast/yast-bootloader/pull/236

fix for crash is merged, what missing is some user friendly popup when trying to modify unsupported bootloader.
