[Bug 725966] New: Elilo does not make opensuse boot
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725966 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725966#c0 Summary: Elilo does not make opensuse boot Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain@suse.com ReportedBy: vljn@ovi.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1 Hi, when I boot openSUSE install DVD in UEFI mode, Elilo loads opensuse installer correctly. However after installation is complete and system reboot from hard drive, elilo cannot load the freshly installed opensuse. The output says something like Loading linux kernel... Loading initrd image ... and stay forever. As there is no console output at all, it's difficult to tell what's crashing and I have not enough elilo experience to know how to enable some useful debug output. For now I'm using grub2-efi which is misconfigured out-of-the box, I already submitted bug reports to covert that point. But grub2-efi is not default opensuse bootloader for uefi system, and a non working boot is a showstopper bug in my opinion. My system has a Asus Z68-V motherboard with a hard drive and a SSD. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch install DVD in UEFI mode (on Asus latest motherboard, hit F8 and select "UEFI : my_cdrom_drive_containing_opensuse_dvd_image" 2. Install the system normally (leave elilo as bootloader) 3. Reboot Actual Results: System hangs after elilo says "loading initrd image" Expected Results: At least an output saying what has crashed, or a working 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.

/dev/sdc1 14.87 GB Linux native Ext4 / 0 1941 /dev/sdc2 476.84 MB EFI boot FAT /boot/efi 1941 2002 /dev/sdc3 47.68 GB Linux native 2002 8227 /dev/sdc4 9.31 GB Linux swap Swap /home 8827 9442 /dev/sdc5 393.43 GB Linux native Ext4 / 9442 60800
I have been wondering why the suggested partitioning put the EFI partition in second. That was the problem: * format partition /dev/sda1 (14.87 GB) for / with ext4 * format partition /dev/sda2 (476.84 MB) for /boot/efi with vfat * foramt partition /dev/sda5 (393,43 GB) for /home with ext4 * use /dev/sdc4 as swap Maybe the setup came across some other older partitions, however I blanked the MBR before installing. I reinstalled with MBR, then again with GPT and that time, the suggested partitioning put the EFI partition at the beginning and the system installed and booted correctly. -- 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.
