This would indicate version mismatch between core.img and /boot/grub2. Did you try to reinstall it (grub2-install /dev/sda)?

You seem right, I removed the insmod lvm and I still could boot my system, and I also think that one of the things I did was grub2-install ... remains the question why yast did not do that for me? thx for your help. -- 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.

How you performed update? Please also show "rpm -qa --last" which contains grub2 packages you updated.

Later, after I came back from mountainbiking I tried to install grub2 from factory - all through the yast package manager. After that was also unsuccessful I fiddeled with the configuration .... the rest you know. -- 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.

The order of installation is correct and should have produced working grub2. The only case I can think of is when you happen to have grub2 which is using update-bootloader --reinit but too old perl-Bootloader that does not yet support it. What version of perl-Bootloader you have?

It will be also helpful to have a look on output of "cat /etc/default/grub_installdevice".

I think I found the reason. In an old copy of that file I found /dev/sdb4, which of course was not a valid partition. -- 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.
