[opensuse-factory] Disk not bootable after zypper up with grub install problem
Hi, Yesterday I did a zypper up on the 12.2 beta 2 (Mantis) located on my test disk. Some 2000 packages were to be upgraded, one of them grub 2. Installation of grub halted at 100%, so I decided to give it a Ctr-C, whereupon zypper complained that grub was unable to read from /dev/fd0. No surprise, since a floppy station is present, but no floppy in it. Install of grub being at 100% I chose Ignore, and the install of the rest went on OK. But now I cannot boot from that disk anymore. It's only a test disk, so no harm done, but is the a chance to make it bootable again whthout a fresh install of 12.2? I should add that I have a working 12.1 disk set on the same machine (which I 'm using right now). Besides that, the install behaviour seems wrong to me. In can't find a bug (against grub) for this one, I take it I should file one? regards, Jogchum -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
