I kind of don't like this personally. As it is errors get stuffed away and I never see them. I'd like errors to at least pause and ask for a keypress to acknowledge (with a setting to disable this)On Wed, 15 Dec 2010 21:32:18 , Jo Even Skarstein<joska@online.no> wrote:On Wed, 2010-12-15 at 19:37 +0200, Peter Slegg wrote:And your solution wouldn't do anything about it. That symlink to xaloader will cause the wrong xaaes.km to be loaded - it can only be fixed by booting the correct kernel or fixing the symlink.

You will still load the incorrect xaaes.km. The obvious and simple solution is to simply reboot with the correct kernel. Then fix the problem - whatever it is - and reboot again.It might be "incorrect" but who cares as long as it works, just chuck out a warning and get on with booting.
Because you have a problem that you should deal with. Your alternative means you may not even know you caused a problem or that one exists. This would lead to erroneous bug reports. This can't be good.People seem to be happy with having hack their way out of non-booting situations. I was just suggesting a simple change that would make it infinitely more user friendly if/when it goes wrong.I'm sorry, but I don't see how. I see a lot of possibilities to create new problems though ;)I don't understand why you prefer a system that won't boot and forces you to get out the starting handle. ;-)
