https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490568 Summary: Bootloader sets a wrong root partition on kernel update Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Alpha 0 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain@novell.com ReportedBy: mvyskocil@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=283076) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=283076) Yast logs I use a following layout of partitions: /dev/sda1 ext2 /boot /dev/sda2 xfs / /dev/sda3 xfs /media/11_1 /dev/sda4 (extended) /dev/sda5 ext3 /media/11_0 /dev/sda6 xfs /home /dev/sda7 swap So kernel's are placed in separate partition as system. This works well until 11.2. Nowadays every kernel update broke my /boot/grub/menu.lst by changing a root= to sda5 and it must be manually fixed in grub and afterwards in menu.lst. Next boot hangs on 'cannot mount a root partition', because initrd contains only xfs module. But this is correct because root partition is xfs and mkinitrd detects it properly.
