I am trying to duplicate a problem at a customer that has a RAID1 setup with /boot, / and other partitions on md. For this I install SLES10SP2 as step one and upgrade to SLES10SP3 as step2. Doing this manually works fine, but when installing SP2 or upgrading to SP3 using AutoYaST, the
how do you upgrade with autoyast? you leave the partitioning as it is but format all system-relevant parts?
/boot/grub/menu.lst refers to /dev/md? and I have tried configuring device.map to map to both /dev/sd? and /dev/disk/by-id/*. Another funny observation : Switching the bootable flag from sdb1 to sda1 changes the boot error from "Invalid partition able" to "No operating system"
So it looks like the RAID setup somehow does not make it to disk when using AutoYaST.
Any ideas ?
the only idea and bug that comes close to it is https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=581523 it's about LVM but RAID was affected too. SP3 accidently pulls in multipath drivers into the ramdisk and those make trouble during the reboot. But actually your sympthons are a bit different, so I have doubts that you hit that problem. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
