I guess the code that generates the commandline is confusing "/dev/hda*" with "(hd0,2)" styles of addressing devices in grub, since hd0,2 or /dev/hda3 is the partition with /boot on it on this machine. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Can you please provide "/boot/grub/device.map" to see if the mapping has gone wrong. If this was the case, please try to edit device.map manually during the installation and see if it works with a valid mapping. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218525 ------- Comment #7 from wstephenson@novell.com 2006-11-13 07:46 MST ------- I reinstalled the bootloader so my device.map is no longer useful. I got this bug when upgrading beta1plus to beta2, so my PATA disk went from being /dev/sda back to /dev/hda - could this be a factor? If necessary i can repeat the upgrade. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218525 ------- Comment #8 from aosthof@novell.com 2006-11-13 07:54 MST ------- Yes, repeating the update would be very useful to encircle the problem. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=218525 ------- Comment #9 from suse@bout-tyme.net 2006-11-13 09:58 MST ------- I too encountered this very problem because of a change from the _wrong_ /dev/sda back to /dev/hda. Ended up having to boot to 10.2b1 mini install disk, change entries in the fstab file, boot using 10.2B2 install disk-->boot installed system and ran grub-install to fix grub entries. Should not be a problem for people upgrading from 10.1 as their fstab should point to the proper /dev/hda entries to start with. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
