But the start at 2048 has nothing to do with this, it is simply caused by partitions being aligned on 1 MB boundaries. Microsoft does that since Windows 7 (or maybe even Vista) and we decided to do the same for compatibility. After installing your updated grub2 package, I can confirm that grub2-mount /dev/sdb no longer hangs, it now works and the mount point contains the same ghost tree as when mounting /dev/sdb the regular way. This is the ghost tree from the hybrid image that was once written to the USB thumbdrive, but no longer reflects the reality. The new grub2-install fails with the following strange error message: rm: cannot remove '/mnt/usb/boot/grub2/i386-pc/acpi.mod': Function not implemented At this point my USB thumbdrive no longer boots. It displays "GRUB" with a blinking cursor and nothing happens. Don't worry too much about this, I can restore it from the snapshot I sent to you if needed. -- 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.
