Ubunto' s boot manager handles boot. Working on vista the os has announce the first disk is damaged, but windows was functioning very well. OK I though, time to change the first disk, it was also a small disk. I have done this change with Acronis True Image 2011 CD by saving disk 1 to an external disk and restoring it to the new disk. Ubunto and windows vista can be chosen from the Ubunto system, but opensuse can not start. I mean thats an issue with grub/menu.lst of Ubunto: cat grub.conf cat: grub.conf: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden gre@Aspire-T620:/boot/grub$ cat grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then set have_grubenv=true load_env fi set default="0" if [ "${prev_saved_entry}" ]; then set saved_entry="${prev_saved_entry}" save_env saved_entry set prev_saved_entry= save_env prev_saved_entry set boot_once=true fi function savedefault { if [ -z "${boot_once}" ]; then saved_entry="${chosen}" save_env saved_entry fi } function recordfail { set recordfail=1 if [ -n "${have_grubenv}" ]; then if [ -z "${boot_once}" ]; then save_env recordfail; fi; fi } function load_video { insmod vbe insmod vga } insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd1,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set a203f27b-e2d4-4708-9a70-7f33130b1c84 if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=640x480 load_video insmod gfxterm fi terminal_output gfxterm insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd1,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set a203f27b-e2d4-4708-9a70-7f33130b1c84 set locale_dir=($root)/boot/grub/locale set lang=de insmod gettext if [ "${recordfail}" = 1 ]; then set timeout=-1 else set timeout=10 fi ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### set menu_color_normal=white/black set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-25-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { recordfail insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd1,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set a203f27b-e2d4-4708-9a70-7f33130b1c84 linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-25-generic root=UUID=a203f27b-e2d4-4708-9a70-7f33130b1c84 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-25-generic } menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-25-generic (recovery mode)' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { recordfail insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd1,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set a203f27b-e2d4-4708-9a70-7f33130b1c84 echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.35-25-generic ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-25-generic root=UUID=a203f27b-e2d4-4708-9a70-7f33130b1c84 ro single echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-25-generic } menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.35-24-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { recordfail insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd1,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set a203f27b-e2d4-4708-9a70-7f33130b1c84 linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-24-generic root=UUID=a203f27b-e2d4-4708-9a70-7f33130b1c84 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-24-generic } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### END /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd1,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set a203f27b-e2d4-4708-9a70-7f33130b1c84 linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin } menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)" { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd1,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set a203f27b-e2d4-4708-9a70-7f33130b1c84 linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin console=ttyS0,115200n8 } menuentry "Desktop -- openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 6 of 6 - 2.6.37-20 (on /dev/sda5)" { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 78926f22-905d-4fac-aa48-6bf50f2c1bf9 linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-20-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD1600JD-22HBB0_WD-WCAL92993971-part5 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD1600JD-22HBB0_WD-WCAL92993971-part1 splash=silent quiet showopts vga=0x317 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.37-20-desktop } menuentry "Failsafe -- openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 6 of 6 - 2.6.37-20 (on /dev/sda5)" { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,msdos5)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 78926f22-905d-4fac-aa48-6bf50f2c1bf9 linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-20-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD1600JD-22HBB0_WD-WCAL92993971-part5 showopts apm=off noresume nosmp maxcpus=0 edd=off powersaved=off nohz=off highres=off processor.max_cstate=1 nomodeset x11failsafe vga=0x317 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.37-20-desktop } ### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### menuentry "Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" { insmod part_msdos insmod ntfs set root='(hd0,msdos2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 4444c45044c44700 chainloader +1 } ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.

But /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD1600JD-22HBB0_WD-WCAL92993971-part5 has changed. That's the name of the old damaged disk. How to handle this dammed long disk name. What name I have to specify for the new disk to boot opensuse 11.4 M6????? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot 2.boot 3.boot Actual Results: opensuse 11.4 M6 is not booting because it don't find the damaged disk instead the new one Expected Results: Need an information for choosing the right disk name It is not a question of ubunto boot manager is it a question to name the new disk so that opensuse 11.4 M6 can find it. -- 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.
