I had exactly the same problem - root cause was that Grub did not get installed to the MBR of /dev/cciss/c0d0. Fix was to boot into rescue mode, mount the root (/dev/system ... however your LVs are setup). Then mount /dev and /proc into the newly mounted root, chroot to the /dev/system/... root, and then re-run grub install to install into the MBR of /dev/cciss/c0d0. Worked like a charm here, hope it works for you as well.
Thank you Moby .. Great fix .. now I just have to figure out how to get it automated. :)
Are you saying you tested it and it worked? I don't see how it could possibly be the problem. Your machine booted, so grub must be there I think Pete Connolly's advise about using mkinitrd -f lvm2 is more likely to work. But you may have run into a bug in the SP1 mkinitrd. I suggest you boot the system using the installer's "boot installed system" and run an online update to get the latest fixes You might also consider opening a call with novell support, so it can be properly investigated, if none of the ideas in this thread work Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
