Boot the system from a DVD in rescue mode, login as root (no password) mount
/mnt mount /mnt/boot (if applicable) mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev chroot /mnt /bin/bash Install an old grub from DVD or if you can, from the old SL-OSS-Factory then run: grub reboot and hopefully you will be back in production.
I was looking at the buildservice earlier and it looks like>1000 i586 packages have to build before then next sync will happen for i586 (it looks like>3000 x86_64 have to still build, so if you waiting for x86_64 grub, it will be an even longer wait)
Thanks, that fixed the problem on this x86_64 box, so I rebooted another and went through the same process, I had installed grub-0.97-147 before rebooting the DVD to Rescue. On that x86_64 box it hangs with GRUB Loading stage1.5 GRUB loading, please wait ..... They ought to put out an emergency package that would solve the problem. Tried both with --force-lba and without. # o /etc/grub.conf setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0) (hd0,0) quit I just have /dev/sda (500GB) with / (XFS) and a swap partition. Everything was previously OK with the latest factory before I upgraded to 11.1 Beta1 using zypper dup. Except for stage2, all other stages dated 7th. Sept. device.map is fine. Looks like I shall have to do a fresh grub install. -- 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.

During the build I see a message that says "sed: can't read /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/grub.spec" and there is nothing in /usr/src/packages/SPECS/ either.
That's caused by /usr/lib/rpm/find-supplements.ksyms and unrelated to this problem. -- 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.

grub-0.97-151.3.i586 still won't boot, I now get a menu instead of just an os not found message and a reboot unfortunately I don't know how to work grub from its shell. I booted with rescue system and copied old grub 0.97-148 directory over the new one and used 11.0 system repair to put new kernel into bootloader and I now have a bootable system.
False alarm used zypper in -f grub and system still boots, my problem could have been caused by https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431703 -- 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.
