           Summary: GRUB Error 23 after kernel update
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem

On a freshly installed machine, grub refuses to boot after doing a kernel
update. It just tells Error 23: Error parsing number.

The reason for this is, that with the kernel update, the syntax for the root
entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst has changed. Before the update, it used:
root (hd0,1)

After the update, it just failed with:
root (/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_SAMSUNG_HM160HCS12TJD0PB99656-part2,1)

I still can boot this system by changing this entry back to (hd0,1).

Note: although this system has a software raid, the system disk is not attached
to this raid. In fact, the system disk is no SATA disk at all. This is just a
PATA disk. After booting the system, the id from menu.lst is available in the
system and it pretends that there was a SATA drive.
