After installing the rpms the system is locked in a reboot loop. Grub loads stage 1 and then reboots the machine. What kind of logs can I provide? I also updated a beta 1 before and ran into the same problem. I was not able to repair grub with repair system and rescue system. -- 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.

/etc/grub.conf would be interesting here (you already stated "/" is XFS). This might be related to 289603.

Booting from XFS is discouraged for legacy BIOSes.
Please define legacy. Do you mean not-EFI? The machine is a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo P5615. The machine was brought to market about one year ago. -- 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.
