 On a freshly built SLES11 SP1 system augeas is not parsing my menu.lst.  I
 get as an error:

 {{{
 augtool> ls /augeas/files/boot/grub/menu.lst/error/
 pos = 286
 line = 9
 char = 0
 lens = /usr/local/share/augeas/lenses/dist/grub.aug:179.14-.63:
 message = Iterated lens matched less than it should
 }}}

 This seems to stem that in SLES11 you can use the old method of specifying
 a device with 'root (hd#,#)' and a new method where the device to use is
 included into the kernel line as "    kernel
 (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.32.27-0.2-default args"

 So the following 'new style' entry does not work with augeas:
 {{{
 ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux###
 title SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 - 2.6.32.27-0.2
     kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.32.27-0.2-default
 root=/dev/vg_rootdisk/lv_root resume=/dev/vg_rootdisk/lv_swap
 splash=silent showopts
     initrd (hd0,0)/initrd-2.6.32.27-0.2-default
 }}}

 Whereas the 'old style' equivilant works fine with augeas:

 {{{
 ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux###
 title SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 - 2.6.32.27-0.2
     root (hd0,0)
     kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32.27-0.2-default root=/dev/vg_rootdisk/lv_root
 resume=/dev/vg_rootdisk/lv_swap splash=silent showopts
     initrd /initrd-2.6.32.27-0.2-default
 }}}
