The reason is probably that something was wrong in openSUSE build service. I downloaded grub-0.97-150.1.x86_64.rpm from ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory/standard/x86_64/grub-0.97-150.1.x86_64.rpm I installed grub-0.97-150.1.x86_64.rpm and it took long to finish the installation(about 1 minute on my T8100 laptop). After that, I cd to /boot/grub folder. See what I found $>ll -h total 1.7G -rw------- 1 root root 15 2008-09-27 09:44 device.map -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14 2008-09-27 09:32 device.map.old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129M 2008-09-16 21:22 e2fs_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129M 2008-09-16 21:22 fat_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129M 2008-09-16 21:22 ffs_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129M 2008-09-16 21:22 iso9660_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129M 2008-09-16 21:22 jfs_stage1_5 -rw------- 1 root root 1.9K 2008-09-27 12:34 menu.lst -rw------- 1 root root 1.7K 2008-09-27 09:43 menu.lst.old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129M 2008-09-16 21:22 minix_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129M 2008-09-16 21:22 reiserfs_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129M 2008-09-16 21:22 stage1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 257M 2008-09-27 15:25 stage2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 104K 2008-09-27 14:56 stage2.old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129M 2008-09-16 21:22 ufs2_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129M 2008-09-16 21:22 vstafs_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129M 2008-09-16 21:22 xfs_stage1_5 oh, my gosh, everything newly installed is over 100M!! Then I built the package from grub-0.97-150.1.src.rpm, installed it, and everything went fine. btw, the original grub-0.97-150.1.x86_64.rpm is more than twice as large as the one I built. Isn't that strange? Just FYI, run the following commands as root: $>rpmbuild --rebuild grub-0.97-150.1.src.rpm $>rpm -ivh --force /usr/src/package/RPMS/x86_64/grub-0.97-150.1.x86_64.rpm $>grub-install Another solution is to find and install another grub package of course:) If you can't, just replace all stage1, stage2 and stage1_5 files in /boot/grub folder with some "good" files(wherever you find them but not from openSUSE11.1beta) and reinstall grub to mbr or first sector of your partition(to install grub to mbr, run setup (hd0) in grub command line, where (hd0) is your first disk. run help setup in grub command to see more). -- 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.
