[opensuse-autoinstall] Grub Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
Hello all, I'm testing a new autoyast.xml for OpenSUSE 11.3 and at the end of stage1 of the installation I'm getting this error: GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename.] grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0) (hd0,4) Error 21: Selected disk does not exist grub> quit This is quite strange, because all partitions were created successfully without any complains, but grub seems unable to install in der MBR. I found that in the grub "disk order settings" "/dev/sda" is defined - this doesn't seem to work anny more in 11.3? Changing to "/dev/disk/by-id/ata-XXX" by hand solved that, but breaks the complete auto installation process - is there another solution?

Hi Uwe, thanks! I tried that - it didn't solve the problem, BUT I found out now what happend: My rules.xml pointed to another (incomplete) profile, where this part <boot_boot>true</boot_boot> <boot_extended>true</boot_extended> <boot_mbr>true</boot_mbr> was missing :-( The installation could not wirk without that - I'm sorry for the trouble I produced regarding this problem!!

If you hardcode /dev/sda in the<bootloader> section, that won't help of course.
So I checked my original autoinst.xml. <device_map_entry> <firmware>hd0</firmware> <linux>/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi_HDS721680PLA380_PVE201Z8T78N9M</linux> </device_map_entry> I changed the <linux> entry to "/dev/sda/" because on other machines the id of the disk is different. So with that config in 11.2 I had no trouble. I don't know yet another way to cope with different disk-ids...
