And even if you do, the generic code in your MBR can only load GRUB from a primary partition. That I think explains why your system does not boot after upgrade any more. The question is how did (hd0,10) appear in your grub.conf; do you have any idea and are you sure it contained something else before you run upgrade? Otherwise I don't see many possibilities to fix this bug... -- 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.

Which means that the bug as it was reported is not valid. There is, however, another bug - the file was created incorrectly. Are you able to find out how/when/why exactly it was created this way (ideally reproduce it) and provide logs of that installation? -- 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.

At least where I looked. What I recollect from memory is that we did a migration to a different data center; it then didn't want to boot, so a fresh install was done, followed by restoring the user data. -- 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.
