Hi,
I updated a x86_64 machine from beta1 to beta3. After the packages were installed I found the machine in a reboot loop. The grub boot loader was not working any longer. So I tried Repair System. The automatic one obviously deleted Windows from menu.lst. Then it threw an error about not being able to access /dev/fd/62. A second try with this one left me with a single entry for linux (i.e. failsafe and xen were gone, too).
This seems to be the problem reported by Rajko on this list earlier with subject: [opensuse-factory] openSUSE 10.3, kernel update 2.6.22.5-12 doesn't create initrd The online update repo was enabled during the update. This might explain it.
So I tried the Expert option Repair Boot Loader. It recreated the default and failsafe entries in menu.lst, but was not able to create initrd. the script complained about not being able to access /dev/sda6 which is the root / partition of my system (xfs containing /boot, too).
After that wreckage I decided to try a new installation of beta3. So I have no logs for the above problems.
Has anybody similar behaviour?
Regards, Andreas
