Hello,

I have the following part in my autoinst.xml:

  <bootloader>
    <activate config:type="boolean">true</activate>
    <global>
      <generic_mbr>true</generic_mbr>
      <activate>true</activate>
      <gfxmenu>/boot/message</gfxmenu>
      <lines_cache_id>2</lines_cache_id>
      <timeout config:type="integer">8</timeout>
    </global>
    <loader_type>grub</loader_type>
    <sections config:type="list">
      <section>
        <append>resume=/dev/sda2 splash=silent showopts</append>
        <image>(hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.37.1-1.2-pae</image>
        <initial>1</initial>
        <initrd>(hd0,0)/initrd-2.6.37.1-1.2-pae</initrd>
        <lines_cache_id>0</lines_cache_id>
        <name>openSUSE 11.4</name>
        <original_name>linux</original_name>
        <root>/dev/sda3</root>
        <type>image</type>
        <vgamode>0x31a</vgamode>
      </section>
...
...
...


On a new Disk the installation works fine. But when I try to install it
on the same machine again, I only get a black screen with a blinking
cursor on the top left corner.

If I erase the first blocks of the disk with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
and install the same system it works.

Can anybody help me to find the error in my config?

Regards

Daniel
