Any idea about the reason, like e.g. setting the DEVICE_NAMES variable in /etc/sysconfig/storage?

And it can differ between boots which one is sda and sdb when you boot with a different initrd (which is the case - installation initrd differs from the one the installation creates. -- 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.

It found that device /dev/sdb7 is mounted by :device and not by :id . Arvin see e.g. line 3210 so bootloader (sdb7 => mountby => :device) code works as expected. -- 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.

The root device is then added to @activated .. Root device should be taken from the fstab found, so instead of using /dev/sd... anything found in fstab with mountpoint "/" would be used. -- 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.
