https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449785 Summary: Installing of GRUB fails when using live installer from a USB stick Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: juhliarik@novell.com ReportedBy: awafaa@opensuse.org QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- When trying to install openSUSE 11.0 via USB stick the installation of GRUB fails each time. The error I get is: GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename. ] grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0) (hd0,0) Error 22: No such partition grub> quit YaST correctly recognises the partitions, but refuses to install the boot loader leaving the system useless. If I select Boot Loader Installation -> button Boot Loader Installation Detaials all i get from that is there are no options to set for current boot loader. -- 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.

There is cause why I "deleted" some part of code for changing order of disks. But in this case it seems to be correct. The change of order is correct but finally perl-Bootloader used other order of disks (wrong order from your point of view) There is not possible find problem exactly because there missing completed yast logs. I will try to reproduce it. -- 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.

It doesn't accept any proposal from yast2-bootloader. :( You can find logs from installation below.

There was read settings (bootloader settings) from USB stick and original proposal was skipped. :( The problem is that for normal installation it works because bootloader settings are updated by perl-Bootloader during installation of kernel(s). But live installation doesn't install kernel packages it only copy files from USB stick. :( The fix is easy and tested. It works. -- 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.
