I've got an older desktop clone with an Intel DQ30J0 system board and a GeForce 8400GS Yea, I know its old, but for its age it doesn't do too bad. :) I can dd the image to a TOSHIBA MK5061GSYN drive in a Sabrent USB 2.0 drive enclosure. Upon reboot I see the kernel and initrd load, but the screen will go blank. There is a flash of an error message, but I can't read it. I believe it says something about gfxterm I belive. After that, there is another line displayed that says, "/usr/sbin/klogconsole". The machine doesn't hang or anything, there is just no output visible on the screen. The appliance does install. There is no video though, but I have been able to log in and reboot. After the reboot, I can login once as well. So I see the boot issue Johannes is seeing. The only difference is that I don't have a display from the time hit enter at the grub prompt until I get a login screen. I guess I should open a new bugz for the for the video issue. Here's the kicker, I can take the drive another machine and it works fine. I can even dd the same appliance to the same hardware without any problems. Now I haven't tried the image a created yesterday on a USB Stick, but I can check if you like. -- 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.

If I select the language before build time I don't get this error but maybe we don't install glibc-locale if the user selects "Ask on Firstboot". I am going to look into it. -- 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.

The directory /usr/lib/locale is empty so there cannot be set any locale at all. File below /usr/lib/locale are in glibc-locale,rpm. Please use an image with locales present and the error messages about not settable locale should be gone. Nevertheless the patches seem valid to me "@euro" is outdated and having a fallback in language.sh make sense. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815659 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815659#c10 --- Comment #10 from Johannes Meixner <jsmeix(a)suse.com> 2013-05-07 11:49:19 CEST --- But it only boots once (only the very first time). Details: After I "dd" the "USB stick / hard disk image" onto my USB stick, my HP ProBook4420s boots from that USB stick. After some minutes I shut down the system with "init 0" (which finally makes HP ProBook4420s switched off). When I switch on the HP ProBook4420s, it does lo longer boot form that still plugged in USB stick. Instead it boots the system on the harddisk - regardless that booting from USB has still topmost priority in the boot sequence of the HP ProBook4420s. On a first glance it seems during the very first boot, the system on the USB stick becomes somehow damaged so that it is no longer recognized as bootable by the HP ProBook4420s. When I again "dd" the "USB stick / hard disk image" onto the same USB stick, exactly the same happens again (i.e. boots only once on the HP ProBook4420s). -- 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.

[Bug 814824] New: kernel update -> mkinitrd -> grub2-efi-install -> efibootmgr deletes boot entry, leaves system unbootable
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 07 May '13

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=814824 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=814824#c0 Summary: kernel update -> mkinitrd -> grub2-efi-install -> efibootmgr deletes boot entry, leaves system unbootable Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain(a)suse.com ReportedBy: ailin.nemui(a)gmail.com QAContact: jsrain(a)suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 I installed new kernels from Kernel:stable, of course I must be prepared for such hick-ups. In a range of 3.8.2, 3.8.4 and 3.8.6, Starting from kernel 3.8.4, the efibootmgr fails to create the linux boot menu entry, which in effect leaves the computer in a state that cannot boot. When a new kernel is installed, the initrds are generated, and also the boot manager config is updated, which also reinstalls grub2. This is an issue I think, because it is not necessary to reinstall grub2, which would have avoided the critical broken system. If grub2 needs to be reinstalled then at least the call to efibootmgr could be skipped, then it would not delete the existing entry and fail to re-add a new entry. One issue here is with efibootmgr, where there is no error reporting. I only found out what's going on with "strace" and notice the ENOSPC error message in the efibootmgr run. This seems to be an issue with Linux kernel, because now efibootmgr cannot write to efivars, only delete from it. I wonder if it might be related to the Samsung UEFI breakage hot fix? I think one approach would be to make sure we can write to efivars *first* before deleting and rewriting the bootmanager entry. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot with 3.8.4 or newer kernel 2. install kernel update or anything else that will (indirectly) trigger efibootmgr run 3. be unable to boot into your system next time because bootmgr entry got deleted Actual Results: broken system that cannot boot, not obvious to fix Expected Results: kernel update shouldn't break grub install or uefi bootmanager I use lenovo thinkpad T430s to test it. Here are the relevant bugs from other distros I could find: Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=922275 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=947142 Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1167567 Thanks! -- 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.
