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.

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

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. See what I found

All files installed from grub-0.97-150.1.x86_64.rpm are larger than 100M!!

Then I rebuilt the package from grub-0.97-150.1.src.rpm, installed it, and everything went fine.

BTW, the original grub-0.97-150.1.x86_64.rpm is more than twice as large as the one I built. Isn't that strange?

Hope there's someone who can figure out what's going on in opensuse build service.

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.
