Description Wim Edelman 2012-09-03 23:39:19 CEST
Created attachment 2745 [details]
syslog of the session in which the kernel was updated.

My hardware system has a sata-harddisk and an ide-harddisk. The system boots from the sata-disk. It has the code hd0 in menu.lst.
Updating of the kernel to version 3.5.3-2 resulted in changing the code hd0 in hd1 in the header of menu.lst, the line with the title "linux" and the lines pointing to the new and old kernel. The code hd0 had not been changed in the lines pointing to the installed Mageia-2 and Windows systems.
This change results in not being able to start Cauldron from the grub-menu.

I fixed the problem by manually correcting menu.lst.

This might be related to bug 5076 and bug 570 (for some reporters).

Sorry, but this bug saw no action since over 2 yrs ago. 
No cauldron package has stayed the same since then.

Closing as OLD

Please reopen if this report is still valid for _current_ cauldron and/or fully
updated Mageia 4
