It has a reiserfs root, as necessary for the investigation. I installed it, then proceeded to update it. The resulting grub menu.lst had these two entries: ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### title Desktop -- openSUSE 12.1 - 3.1.9-1.4 kernel resume=/dev/disk/by-label/swap splash=silent quiet showopts vga=0x317 initrd ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: failsafe### title Failsafe -- openSUSE 12.1 - 3.1.9-1.4 kernel showopts apm=off noresume edd=off powersaved=off nohz=off highres=off processor.max_cstate=1 nomodeset x11failsafe vga=0x317 initrd As you can see, there are no file entries, and the result is unbootable. Had I not enabled in zypp kernel multiversion (which should be the default), I would had to reinstall the entire virtual machine to repair. -- 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.
