http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=547580 Summary: perl-Bootloader uses wrong partition for /boot Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 8 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain@novell.com ReportedBy: jblunck@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: jreidinger@novell.com Found By: Development This is happening when updating from M8 to RC1. openSUSE 11.1 to M8 update was still working fine. perl-Bootloader updates /boot/grub/menu.lst but uses wrong partition, hd(0,2) instead of hd(0,0), for /boot. If no other kernel is installed this leaves the system unbootable. # Modified by YaST2.
