https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=388754 Summary: Grub configuration mixed sba and sdb Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: snwint@novell.com ReportedBy: holgi@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: coolo@novell.com Found By: Component Test When installing Beta 2 and selecting to install grub on certain partition instead of MBR I get a broken configuration: Since in device.map sda is defines as (hd1) and sdb as (hd0) the system will not boot with chainloader from first grub afterwards. Is there any reason why sda is not defined as (hd0) anymore? -- 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.

let me make an educated guess
Bootloader setup is in 1st stage installation. Without kexec. Holgi didn't use the kexec=1 parameter. And bootloader is *running* without kexec. Wo why should kexec influence the EDD behaviour? -- 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.

why am I info provider? because I made a guess that was wrong?
Because I wanted to know the reason for your guess, i.e. if I oversaw something in my description why *I* think that your guess was wrong. -- 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, I see nothing I can do at this point.
Well, I think sda == 0x80 and sdb == 0x81 is a better guess than now. Or just add an entry to hwinfo that says that the BIOS IDs are guessed rather than provided by EDD, so that the bootloader configuration can catch that case and ask the user, write a info box or something like that instead of blindly taking that numbers and failing then. -- 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.
