Precisely.
If /etc/grub.conf is bad, Yast intalls grubs incorrectly. I said that I
had to repair that install overwriting the MBR using dd to copy my backup
of the MBR over what Yast/grub module had broken.
I did not have to repair the menu, that was correct.
If I knew how to correct that file yast will not break it again next time
(when I update to 10.2)
