(1) correctly use/write,
root (hd0)
instead of
root (hd0,0)
Because it is not correct, root set device to which is write relative path in section. it must be partition not disc.
i'm not clear as to what's "not correct". Grub's fine with partionless disks ... and, in my scenario,
title PVGRUB root (hd0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.25-9-xen root=/dev/xvdc resume=/dev/xvdb kbdtype=us text nofb selinux=0 edd=off splash=silent noshell showopts initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.25-9-xen
root = (hd0), NOT (hd0,0) is required. There _is_ an issue with it recognizing filesystems when on a pv-grub'd DomU (cref: Bug 516677 - grub fails to recognize filesystem on partitionless hd, in DomU booted on pv-grub Dom0).
(2) write the kernel/initrd entries as
kernel /boot/vmlinuz... initrd /boot/initrd...
not,
kernel /vmlinuz... initrd /initrd...
Because you have separated boot partition and perl-Bootloader detect it and correctly write section. It cannot be modified...only option is change fstab to not include separate /boot
then that's a problem, isn't it? again, for my situation:
title PVGRUB root (hd0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.25-9-xen root=/dev/xvdc resume=/dev/xvdb kbdtype=us text nofb selinux=0 edd=off splash=silent noshell showopts initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.25-9-xen
/boot/vmlinuz... is required ... if just /vmlinuz is used, the system -- not finding the kernel/initrd -- simply fails to boot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
