https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223576 Summary: Grub installation is broken after update Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: amantia@kde.org QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I updated beta2 to rc1 with Yast-System update. After the reboot the new Kernel-2.6.18.2-23-default was booted automatically and resulted in an instant File not found error. I selected my old grub entry for suse beta2, and it booted but as all my modules from the old kernel were already deleted, it for example couldn't even mount the boot partition (which was an ext2 one). After some recovery attempt, I found the problem: grub somehow mixed my hard disks. I have one at /dev/hda1 (it has SUSE 10.2 beta1 and of course grub as well), and /dev/sda1. The first was supposed to be hd0, the second hd1, still the entries were not correct and hd1 tried to boot from the /dev/hda1, not /dev/sda1, resulting in an error not finding the kernel. As my old entry refered to the /vmlinuz link, it was working with the kernel from my other disk. ;-) So something is broken there. I attach 3 version of grub files: the beta2 one, the rc1 one which was not working, and what I use now (rc1-working). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
