Comment # 5 on bug 1223609 from andreas bittner

today I have tried to fix this machine via the 15.6rc media rescue bootentry,
mounting / and /boot and adding sys dev proc and run  and then chroot into the
system

I have tried to look into grub , grub_installdevice  and those parts and it
looks fine, the disk UUID and names and partitions etc all exist and make sense
and are correct.

inside chroot: firing up the yast on the commandline and making it re-install
the boot setting rewrite MBR or bootstuff into the whole disk and the partition
of /boot and all finishes without erros being shown from inside yast.

the system doesnt boot after this either.

rescue once again and then mkinitrd installs kind of multiple big blocks worth
of kernel stuff (with log output) and at the end with the 6.4.0 kernel entry it
seems to fail at the dracut step and prints the error to the screen, and this
error seems to be in the log files I have provided as an attachment earlier.

it seems that I can not make this hosed system to boot any more even after
repair attempts with the 6.4.x kernel entry

thanks.
