[Bug 328482] New: updating from 10.2, LILO errors out because of dangling image entries
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=328482 Summary: updating from 10.2, LILO errors out because of dangling image entries Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: RC 2 Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: odabrunz@novell.com ReportedBy: mvidner@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: aosthof@novell.com Found By: --- I updated a 10.2 system with LILO to 10.3 RC2 (It is my workstation and LILO has been there since 7.3, I guess I should apply for technical heritage protection at the ministry of culture... ;-) At the end of the 1st stage, LILO fails, because some of the lilo.conf entries refer to the previous kernel which is no longer there. (They were duplicated in the original config, and only one set has been updated to refer to the new kernel.) I attach y2logs from the instsys and the target system. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=328482#c6 --- Comment #6 from Alexander Osthof <aosthof@novell.com> 2007-10-25 08:24:37 MST --- Hmm... I'm a bit confused. According to (instsys) yast logs, these are the read sections: 2007-09-26 13:17:04 <1> 10.20.1.21(3671) [YCP] bootloader/routines/lib_iface.ycp:182 Read sections: [ $[ "append":"resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent showopts", "initrd":"/boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-0.3-default", "kernel":"/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-0.3-default", "lines_cache_id":"0", "name":"Linux", "root":"/dev/hda6", "type":"image", "vga":"0x31a" ], $[ "append":"showopts ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off noresume nosmp noapic maxcpus=0 edd=off", "initrd":"/boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-0.3-default", "kernel":"/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-0.3-default", "lines_cache_id":"1", "name":"FailsafeV1", "root":"/dev/hda6", "type":"image", "vga":"0x31a" ], $[ "append":"resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent showopts", "initial":"1", "initrd":"/boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-0.3-default", "kernel":"/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-0.3-default", "lines_cache_id":"2", "name":"oS_10.2", "original_name":"linux", "root":"/dev/hda6", "type":"image", "vga":"0x31a" ], $[ "append":"showopts ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off noresume nosmp noapic maxcpus=0 edd=off 3", "initrd":"/boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-0.3-default", "kernel":"/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-0.3-default", "lines_cache_id":"3", "name":"Failsafe", "original_name":"failsafe", "root":"/dev/hda6", "type":"image", "vga":"normal" ], $[ "kernel":"/boot/memtest.bin", "lines_cache_id":"4", "name":"Memory_Test", "original_name":"memtest86", "type":"image" ] ] These sections point to the same vmlinuz/initrd file in each case, but the difference are the names given. So it seems that in the update mechanism something added those 2 new entries... but at this point of time I can't explain why and if perl- or yast2-bootloader is responsible respectively. BTW, if you still have access to the original lilo.conf from 10.2, please attach it.

It means that lilo.conf doesn't include yast comments for section. :( it happend if someone edit lilo.conf by hand and forgot to add ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### I am sorry :( BTW. lilo is not supported now Josef parsing lilo.conf and adding key "original_name" is done by perl-Bootloader. ;-) -- 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.
