It uses grub2 as the bootloaded, which by default was installed on the only partition. As a maintenance update once prevented the drive to be booted until I manually ran grub2-install again, I was advised to install grub2 on the MBR instead. So I tried: # grub2-install --root-directory=/mnt/usb /dev/sdb However this command never returns, and grub2-bios-setup uses 100% CPU. I'll attach the debug log I gathered. I installed debuginfo packages and got the following backtrace when attaching gdb to the stuck grub2-bios-setup process: (gdb) bt #0 0x080a77cd in grub_strncmp () #1 0x08068c4d in grub_iso9660_susp_iterate () #2 0x080690ce in set_rockridge () #3 0x08069288 in grub_iso9660_mount () #4 0x0806a0d7 in grub_iso9660_dir () #5 0x080a6cac in grub_fs_probe () #6 0x0804a9ae in setup () #7 0x0804c730 in main () (gdb) -- 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.
