[Bug 413135] New: openSUSE 11. 0 cannot be booted using Grub when installed on second hard disk
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=413135 Summary: openSUSE 11.0 cannot be booted using Grub when installed on second hard disk Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Booting AssignedTo: jsrain@novell.com ReportedBy: tobysubs@gmx.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Customer The computer is booted from SATA disk sda which contains sda1: Windows 2000 sda2: Swap sda3: SuSE Linux 10.0 A second SATA disk has been added sdb and the computer rebooted using the openSUSE 11.0 live CD and the installation on sdb completed using YaST. Following this the computer does not reboot and produces a Grub error 25. This can be repaired by adding '(hd1) /dev/sdb' to /boot/grub/device.map on sda and 'setup (hd0)' from grub but nothing can be done to boot the openSUSE 11.0 installation on sdb. There is a long discussion on linuxquestions.org http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/susenovell-60/grub-problems-after-in... and on opensuse forums http://forums.opensuse.org/install-boot-login/390323-grub-load-fail.html and this constellation of disks has never been used successfully with Grub and I conclude this must be a bug somewhere in the way openSUSE is installed. -- 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.

Created an attachment (id=235098) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=235098) [details] Contents of /var/log/YaST2 from sdb1 after installation from live CD
To reproduce the problem I set the contents of the SUSE Linux 10.0 installation on sda back to their 'original' state before I first tried the sdb installation using the live CD. I repeated the installation from live CD, allowing Yast to do what it felt best, the settings all look sensible enough to me. After a reboot the following is the computer's only response: Grub loading stage 1.5. Grub loading, please wait Error 25 And that's it. Now the computer can only be booted using an alternative boot source, like the super grub disk. I have uploaded the YaST2 logs as above and will leave the computer in its invalid state in case you need further information. Thanks for your attention. -- 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.
