When using VirtualBox 4.3.x and running opensuse 12.3 or 13.1 guest,At random after updates are applied via yast or zypper, somehow the grub boot loader, get's corrupted.
At this point the vbox guest opensuse vm will not boot, instead all one see's is a black screen, with the words grub in approximately the upper left part of screen and nothing else displays.
This usually means that grub first stage (bootsector) tried to load and execute garbage.
The vm is recoverable, I just boot the vm using super grub2, then grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg then grub2-install /dev/sda, reboot all is good.
Any ideas as to what would be causing this and/or prevent it from happening.
Could you run https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript/raw/master/bootinfoscript inside of VM and upload result to susepaste.org? Also show your /etc/default/grub_installdevice. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
