Has anyone successfully installed 11.1 beta 1 to an LVM based system? I get a boot failure:

...

waiting for /dev/system/root to appear - OK node name not found invalid root filesystem -- exiting to /bin/sh

The partitions are set thus: sda1 /boot ext2, Formatted sda2 swap sda3,4 not used here (another OSL system) sdb1 swap sdb2 LVM (default settings) LVM-root / ext3, Formatted LVM-home /home ext3, Formatted LVM-data /data ext3, Not formatted Desktop KDE4.1 FWIW; everything else is default settings. Before I re-do installation (tomorrow) with remote YaST logging so that I can open a bug report, I'm interested to see if anyone else has tried a similar setup? -- Cheers Richard (MQ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Bug #428127 is marked as FIXED. How and where I cannot find. I have 3 boxes, one that will not reboot and 2 that won't if I ever try rebooting them. I've been away over the last 3 days and grub in the repo is still the broken 0.97-150.1. Has the DVD been updated for my fresh install and on the updated boxes, is there a workaround? Using webmail as my main box is down, won't boot because of this problem. Regards Sid. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Hi, Sid grub-0.97-150.1.x86_64.rpm is broken and I guess there was something wrong in openSUSE build service(at least for x86_64 arch), because opensuse-11.1-beta is built by it. I installed grub-0.97-150.1.x86_64.rpm on my opensuse-11.0-x86_64 box and it took long to finish the installation(about 1 minute on my T8100 laptop). After that, I cd to /boot/grub folder.

After upgrading to the rebuilt src.rpm, the stage files changed and were very large, so I copied the ones I saved on a USB stick over and ran grub-install. Only the laptop reported a problem and I shall have to check later if it will boot. The box that was hanging in grub now boots successfully. # grub-install GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.

No, this was caused by the binutiles, which creates these binaries now.
