Comment # 29
on bug 1218864
from Lorenz Hüdepohl
To chime in as a third party: On my tumbleweed installation with the latest
change, I can no longer boot kernels from my root XFS. I had problems before
that were fixed in
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1138021
already before I could report them :)
But with the newest
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1138021
it no longer works, again.
(A compounding factor seems to be the move of the kernels from /boot to
/usr/lib/modules/$kernelversion, as the rather small /boot directory can always
be parsed by grub in my tests so far, whereas the rather large /usr metadata is
probably stored somehow differently by XFS, triggering this issue. This could
blur the timeline of events, somewhat, not sure what came when)
Here are details about the currently installed package (which is not able to
boot):
