[Bug 331685] New: grub won't boot after upgrade + various

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331685 Summary: grub won't boot after upgrade + various Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: kq8z67r6309fo9001(a)sneakemail.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=176693) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=176693) yast-generated menu.lst I upgraded a machine from 10.2 to 10.3. After installing the packages and rebooting, I'm left with a grub shell (no menu, graphical or otherwise). Tried so far: root (hd0,4) works a subsequent "kernel" command causes the machine to immediately reboot Booting into the rescue system with the DVD and then running grub, then root (hd0,4) setup (hd0) appears to work, but still just boots to a grub shell. The above fix was necessary on two other systems upgraded from 10.2 to 10.3, but obviously doesn't work here. Attempting to boot into a repair install from the CD just gives a yast curses screen saying something like "An error occured during installation". Attempting to start a normal install and then selecting "repair install" as the installation type reboots the system. The system was previously running 10.2 without incident for some time. There is presently no way to boot the system. I will attach "hwinfo all" output and menu.lst. Differences between this system and the other two mentioned above: * newer hardware * no boot partition * root is on a logical partition * root is xfs * disk is large (but BIOS supports LBA48, or claims to) * kubuntu is also installed (bootloader never installed, though) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Fortunately we do not support it any more for new installations, an ext2 /boot partition is highly recommended. The problem is that with XFS, sync(2) returns, but the data isn't synced. The first time yast calls grub install, grub does not find the new stage1.5, because it is not on the disk yet, despite a successful sync; thus it modifies stage2 to do the job. On the second invocation, stage1.5 is found and installed, but stage2 already is modified. So once again this isn't a grub bug, but an XFS bug with FS semantics. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Firefox kept crashing. I found out it was caused by both java-1_5_0-sun-plugin and java-1_6_0-sun-plugin being installed at the same time. To avoid this the packages should conflict. If the free software plugins for 1.6 and 1.7 don't already conflict with the other plugins, they prolly should too. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
