http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=963840 Bug ID: 963840 Summary: os-prober partly assigns wrong UUID Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: wodenhof@daad-alumni.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- I rsync'ed Mint Rafaela from /dev/sdb6 to /dev/sda5 (have to re-organize my disks). I edited /etc/fstab to reflect the new situation in the /dev/sda5 partition, i.e. I told it about the new "/". Then I ran leap 42.1's os-prober via grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. This is an excerpt of the result: ... ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### menuentry 'Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela (17.2) (on /dev/sda5)' --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-gnulinux-simple-82e41fb7-7de1-4cbb-a506-60a3f71bf09b' { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd0,msdos5' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos5 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos5 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos5 --hint='hd0,msdos5' 82e41fb7-7de1-4cbb-a506-60a3f71bf09b else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 82e41fb7-7de1-4cbb-a506-60a3f71bf09b fi linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=55afef35-cf0b-43b9-b5d3-d40dd755f754 ro quiet splash $vt_handoff initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic } Note the second to last line with ...root=UUID=55afef35-cf0b-43b9-b5d3-d40dd755f754. This is not the UUID of 82e41fb7-7de1-4cbb-a506-60a3f71bf09b of /dev/sda5 but of the old /dev/sdb6. I edited /boot/grub2/grub.cfg by hand to the necessary UUID and it works. But os-prober seems to behave funny here... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
