(hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD753LJ_S13UJDWQ702567 (hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD753LJ_S13UJDWQ702565 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD753LJ_S13UJDWQ702567 and then inside grub commandline shell: device (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD753LJ_S13UJDWQ702567
and according to mdadm -D /dev/md1 my / (root) filesystem is on /dev/sda5 and /dev/sdb5 partitions so then in grub i do: root (hd0,4) giving me output:
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd so that / partition on /dev/sda(5) is indeed of partition type 0xFD, Linux RAID
and then inside grub: setup (hd0)
setup (hd0) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 17 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+17 p (hd0,4)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded Done.
and then same for the other sata disk /dev/sdb in grub: grub> device (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD753LJ_S13UJDWQ702565 device (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD753LJ_S13UJDWQ702565 grub> root (hd0,4) root (hd0,4) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd grub> setup (hd0) setup (hd0) Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 17 sectors are embedded. succeeded Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+17 p (hd0,4)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeeded Done. --------- after exiting grub commandline shell and rebooting the 11.1 system, the whole box boots fine even when being selected to boot from second sata disk inside bios/POST screen, or when disconnecting the first sata disk and so on. it would be great if this bug could be fixed, and if there was some way to update the opensuse 11.1 iso images to embed these and other essential bugfixes and newer rpm packages. is there any way to patch/re-build the opensuse iso install images? thanks and regards. -- 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.
