http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=901812 Bug ID: 901812 Summary: extraneous apostrophe in grub configuration (installation) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 RC 1 Hardware: i586 OS: openSUSE 13.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: peter@renault4.plus.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- During the graphical installation of 13.2RC1 on my old laptop, something went awry when it was trying to configure the bootloader. I noticed an error message which included some text "opensuse grub unexpected eof while looking for matching '". I was able to continue and restart the machine when necessary, but on the first boot it wouldn't load. I went into the Rescue System with the DVD and edited the grub.cfg file. It contained the following incorrect line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" resume=/dev/sda6 splash=silent quiet elevator='missing showopts" I couldn't understand what the 'elevator' argument was so I merely removed the apostrophe after the equals sign. That got it to boot after I pressed a key because it threw an error message about missing showopts. From the running system I then suspected the part "elevator='missing" might have been put in there incorrectly so I removed it all and it now boots normally. FYI, I'd opted to leave the bootloader installation in an extended partition, despite the warning in red text it gave me that this could cause boot problems. (Because it's how I've always had it configured by default on previous installations). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
