All on host gx62b, unexpected message referring to /etc/grub.conf occurred today in vtty and /var/log/zypp/history both on 42.1, and on a 42.2a installation that is an upgrade from 42.1, but did not occur on a TW upgrade from 2016051? to 20160728 (string /etc/grub.conf does not appear anywhere in TW's history dating back to 2012-10): # 42.1 # Perl-Bootloader: 2016-08-02 15:54:51 <3> pbl-7283.2 FileIO::ReadFileRaw.168: Error: Failed to open /etc/grub.conf: No such file or directory # 42.2 # Perl-Bootloader: 2016-08-02 21:10:09 <3> pbl-1994.2 FileIO::ReadFileRaw.168: Error: Failed to open /etc/grub.conf: No such file or directory /boot/grub/menu.lst was successfully updated. This is from 42.1: # rpm -qa | egrep 'grub|os-prober|ootloader' perl-Bootloader-0.844-1.1.x86_64 perl-Bootloader-YAML-0.844-1.1.x86_64 grub-0.97-207.2.x86_64 perl-Bootloader-0.844-1.1.x86_64 perl-Bootloader-YAML-0.844-1.1.x86_64 yast2-bootloader-3.1.162-7.1.x86_64 Same message occurs in 42.1 history as far back as 2015-11-12. Original 42.1 installation was 2015-10-26. Other than versions, equivalent bootloader packages are installed on gx62b's TW and 42.2 (no v2.x Grub rpms installed anywhere on gx62b's HD). String /etc/grub.conf does not appear in gx62b's 13.1 or 13.2 zypp/history either. Clearly /etc/grub.conf was missing from these two installations. The question is not why /etc/grub.conf was missing, or whether perl-Bootloader should complain on not finding it, but why perl-Bootloader should even care about /etc/grub.conf while its job seems to be updating /boot/grub/menu.lst for a new kernel installation. Am I being mislead by a post-installation script as to why /etc/grub.conf is sought by perl-Bootloader? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
