Good. Booted the DVD and told it to check itself. Good. Did the install to /dev/sdb3 as an update install (from 11.1 64 bit). Have tried it three times, changing an option here and there. The end result is, the GRUB on /dev/sda1 is not updated to include the updated partition. It did see that /home is on a raid (md0). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the DVD 2. Tell it to do an update boot 3. Allow the new boot process through the DVD (or manually do it w/ no DVD) and the GRUB loader menu does not contain the updated partition. Actual Results: The sdb3 partition does not have a file system that the SuSE 11.4 system knows about. Expected Results: I expected the 12.1 system to boot up, choke to death on the RAID "/home" (as it has on the last three SuSE releases) and have to fix a few things and then have it take off and work As I understand it, GRUB should have actually been replaced. The sdb1 partition did not have a loader in it (which it was setup for), and the sdb2 is a swap partition. sdb4 is the mirror copy of sda4 which is the /home partition. Using an AMD 2 core CPU with 8GB of RAM. The 11.4 system runs great out of sda3. -- 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.
