grub menu.lst syntax "repair=1"

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hello,

I have been not able to find any answer to my doubt by Googling a lot, so I am attempting to post the question here.
I noticed that my /boot/grub/menu.lst contains the following line (highlighted in bold):

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.21-0.1-default root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500BEVS-22VAT0_WD-WXEX08TFF875-part3 repair=1 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500BEVS-22VAT0_WD-WXEX08TFF875-part6 splash=silent showopts vga=0x317
initrd /initrd-2.6.27.21-0.1-default

I would like what “repair=1” stands for because it is the first time I encounter so far.

“repair=1” is an instruction to run the openSUSE “Repair Installed System” software

Thank you swerdna, so I will wipe this unnecessary instruction from my /boot/grub/menu.lst.
It probably remained appended during my recovery system process.

BR!
