[opensuse-autoinstall] bootloader problem
Hi all,
I have a bit of a wirdness in OpenSuSE 11.3 autoyast that I need some help with.
It's the bootloader definitions in /boot/grub/menu.lst that seems to get messed
up at some point.
My configuration involves LVM and RAID 1 on 3 disks, see relevant autoinst.xml
parts below.
Now, what happens is that the boot disk partition definition gets messed up
in a rather random way. It starts out as being "(hd0,0)", but then along the
way, it gets replaced with "(hd0,<garbage>)" where <garbage> becoms a sequence
of random digits, e.g. 8 or 28376, or 941 or something completely irrelevant.
I've tried to fix this with a simple postpartitioning-script, chroot-script,
post-script, and init-script, but there's always one point (I do believe it's
the second reboot, i.e. after the chroot-scripts being executed, but before
the post-scripts get executed) where the "(hd0,0)" gets clogged up that
prevents the boot. I have to enter the grub menu and edit the offendig lines
manually. Then, in the installed system, I need to permanent the changes by
editing the offending lines again, this time using vi in the running system.
The problem manifests itself when using 3 disk setup with RAID 1, but not
with 3 disks under LVM without RAID 1.
Other than that, everything seems just fine.
Any ideas, anyone?
