[Bug 745024] New: Kernel vmlinuz-3.1.9-1.4 update failure
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=745024 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=745024#c0 Summary: Kernel vmlinuz-3.1.9-1.4 update failure Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: VMWare OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: carlos.e.r@opensuse.org QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Kernel vmlinuz-3.1.9-1.4 update failure For the purpose of investigation of Bug 538795, I have just installed another virtual machine in vmplayer 4, host OS 11.4. It has a reiserfs root, as necessary for the investigation. I installed it, then proceeded to update it. The resulting grub menu.lst had these two entries: ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### title Desktop -- openSUSE 12.1 - 3.1.9-1.4 kernel resume=/dev/disk/by-label/swap splash=silent quiet showopts vga=0x317 initrd ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: failsafe### title Failsafe -- openSUSE 12.1 - 3.1.9-1.4 kernel showopts apm=off noresume edd=off powersaved=off nohz=off highres=off processor.max_cstate=1 nomodeset x11failsafe vga=0x317 initrd As you can see, there are no file entries, and the result is unbootable. Had I not enabled in zypp kernel multiversion (which should be the default), I would had to reinstall the entire virtual machine to repair. -- 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.

My boot partition has ReiserFS, and even after editing "menu.lst" I'm unable too boot. The SUSE splash screen appears, but is rudely interrupted by this error message:
Please, on this report what is of interest is that menu.lst was borked, so you have to post the bad menu.lst and the log of the incident, if possible. The kernel panic can be reported in full on another bugzilla, where you can mention how it came to be, and here that it caused another problem. -- 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.

Sorry Carlos, the bad menu.lst file is no longer available, as I have edited it. It looked pretty much identical to the one in your OP though. So I'll just say that this happened to me too. -- 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.
