http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=548403 Summary: Unable to boot from vmlinuz-2.6.31.3-1-pae kernel (on VMware virtual machine) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: novell_david@bailey.id.au QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=323236) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=323236) Screenshot of console messages during boot of 2.6.31.3-1-pae kernel User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.14) Gecko/2009090900 SUSE/3.0.14-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.14 On a VMware virtual machine (upgraded from openSUSE 11.1), the resulting installation does not boot. The upgrade set up 2.6.31.3-1-pae as the default kernel. The system seems to hang whilst waiting for /dev/sda2 (the root partition) to appear. The system also could not find /dev/sda1, which is the swap partition. See attached image for screenshot of the console messages leading up to boot failure. Can successfully boot from the *-default and *-desktop kernels NB 1. Prior to the upgrade (ie as openSUSE 11.1), the machine booted successfully from the *-pae kernel (specifically the 2.6.27.29-0.1-pae kernel) NB 2. This failure also happened with 11.2 milestone 8 ( I didn't realise the cause of the issue at that time ) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot from 2.6.31.3-1-pae kernel (on VMware virtual machine) 2. 3. Actual Results: boot process fails ... Waiting for device /dev/sda2 to appear: ..................Could not find /dev/sda2 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
