The only thing that struck me was the Unique ID value of sda3 contains "_" It couldn't be so simple as a regex missing the non-'a:z' value?

Yes, unless kernel pre require new version of perl-bootloader, then old one can be used during upgrade. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There is currently no support for such setups from the udev side. Updating udev to a different version might result in loss of some database entries. Such changes don't happen often, but other requirements forced a change in the database format between udev from 11.2 and 11.3. That's usually not a problem for other tools. Isn't it just the same ordering issue, we've seen already, between updating udev and the bootloader at the same time? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Isn't it just the same ordering issue, we've seen already, between updating udev and the bootloader at the same time?

So if I prerequire new version of new udev can I avoid such problem?

What means 'prerequire' in that context? The problem is that the 11.3 udev can not read parts of the still running 11.2 udev database. We need to make sure, that during an upgrade, the bootloader is updated before udev, because the udev update renders parts of the information you seem to need inaccessible. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

How else would you that Factory get updated from milestone to milestone? Maybe zypper was too grand a scheme for available resources and apt or yum should have been used instead? IMO any udev version that cannot read an older udev version's DB is a broken udev unsuited for a GM release. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

upgrade openSUSE - its must have feature (In reply to comment #43)

After having called "update-bootloader --refresh" just once mkinitrd completes without throwing "No partition found [...]" messages.

Cosmetic only? Side effects? Or a possible step towards a solution?

Hm, developers (including myself) often complain that bug reporters don't provide necessary infos, even on request. Developers not reacting to bug reporters willing to provide infos don't encourage either ... ;-)

Therefore: Any logs you're interested in? Something I'm proposed to try to enlighten why "update-bootloader --refresh" killed the warnings?

Hi, problem is that we know where is problem, but don't have any idea how to fix it, so now we try to find possible solutions. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Closing, as it seems, we can't work around this. We'll need to try to avoid such issues in the future.

I can imagine two possible workarounds - at least I think so ;-) a) easy: add Requires: kernel >= $kernel_version_in_11.3 to the udev package and release it as update for 11.3. This should change the install order in zypper (needs to be tested for circular dependencies, but in theory it should work). b) slightly more complex method, but should work for sure: part 1: let the old package write the current boot partition to a tempfile in the %preun script. Release this package as update for 11.2. (In reply to comment #34)

[...] problem is in udev, which doesn't report anything.

Thats part 2 - release a new udev package for 11.3 that reads the tempfile generated above as a fallback. Both methods will work for people that include the 11.3 update repo when running zypper dup. -- 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.

I don't see how we can fix properly for the already released product. We can not add dependencies on specific kernels, and udev has no idea how to, and should not, write out bootloader information on its update. -- 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.
