[Bug 1140259] New: zipl does not create valid boot record
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1140259 Bug ID: 1140259 Summary: zipl does not create valid boot record Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: S/390-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader Assignee: jsrain@suse.com Reporter: gunreben@t-online.de QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com CC: ihno@suse.com, mpost@suse.com, rw@suse.com, snwint@suse.com Found By: Community User Blocker: --- after circumventing https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1139939 , the system really finishes installing, and tries to reboot. However, all that CP does is entering a program interrupt loop. Even when activating the zipl menu, this is not displayed. Things that I tried without success: - manually set the parameters for disk geometry - got zipl image and initrd from a system that I knew that works - installed a ext3 only system - did the identical partition like on a system that works I always compared zipl -c /boot/zipl/config -V from a working system with the broken one, and in the end had no differences, still CP would not boot the system. Finally, I did the following to boot the system, which worked (but is not a solution): - boot from reader for installation - go into shell and activate my system disk - select boot installed system - select the right entries After this, the system came up, without using zipl though. It actually seems to find the correct entries from grub2-emu. To reproduce, get a current image from https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/openSUSE:Factory:zSystems/000pro... and do a normal system installation. I did my tests with Build574.1. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

--- Comment #8 from Berthold Gunreben
Would you mind to try >= 2.11.0, e.g. from https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/\ Base:System/s390-tools/openSUSE_Factory_zSystems please?
In the meantime, current openSUSE:Factory variants are tested in openqa, thus I can tell that s390-tools [2.11.0-3.12.s390x] works. See also https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1217954/file/autoinst-log.txt from the test https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1217954 If this test is not in openQA anymore, please have a look at the latest tests in openQA: https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/34 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
