[Bug 788163] New: multiple kernels not showing in Grub
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=788163 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=788163#c0 Summary: multiple kernels not showing in Grub Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain@suse.com ReportedBy: jorge.adriano@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1308.0 Safari/537.17 SUSE/24.0.1308.0 For some time now, I've had installed HEAD, STABLE and the default kernel. All have been showing in Grub. Recently, after updating stable to 3.6.5, this kernel disappeared from Grub. After updating HEAD to 3.7.rc3-3 it also disappeared from Grub. I am now left with the default kernel. YaST does show the 3 kernels installed, so it is a problem with Grub. I have however not touched Grub configuration. YaST Bootloader settings show GNU GRUB 2 as being selected. However I hadn't even installed Grub2, only Grub is installed, so that was surprising. Other than that it only shows the default kernel and windows. HEAD and STABLE do not appear listed. Possibly related, I have been updating mkinird using the STABLE kernel repo. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot 2. Look at boot loader 3. Search for installed kernels Actual Results: They're not all there Expected Results: All should be there -- 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.

Every time there is an error: "Could not find map /boot/System.map, please specify a correct file with -M. There was an error generating the initrd (9)" Indeed there is no /boot/System.map in my system, but three distinct /boot/System.map-3.x.xx-x.xx-desktop files, one for each kernel. -- Retrieving package kernel-desktop-3.7.rc3-3.1.x86_64 (1/3), 35.4 MiB (153.1 MiB unpacked) Retrieving: kernel-desktop-3.7.rc3-3.1.x86_64.rpm [done (1.1 MiB/s)] Retrieving package kernel-desktop-3.6.5-1.1.x86_64 (2/3), 40.4 MiB (153.7 MiB unpacked) Retrieving: kernel-desktop-3.6.5-1.1.x86_64.rpm [done (1000.2 KiB/s)] Retrieving package kernel-desktop-3.1.10-1.16.1.x86_64 (3/3), 37.6 MiB (144.2 MiB unpacked) Retrieving: kernel-desktop-3.1.10-1.16.1.x86_64.rpm [done (1.1 MiB/s)] Installing: kernel-desktop-3.7.rc3-3.1 [done] Additional rpm output: Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.7.0-rc3-3-desktop Initrd image: /boot/initrd-3.7.0-rc3-3-desktop Kernel Modules: <not available> Could not find map /boot/System.map, please specify a correct file with -M.

I downgraded to a previous version of mkinitrd 2.7.1 (more precisely mkinitrd-2.7.1-62.6.1.x86_64, the default one from openSUSE 12.2), reinstalled the kernels, and everything was fine again. Well for the most part. I still have that grub2 item on the grub menu in the middle of all the kernels. No idea what that's for. But anyway, I can boot properly with all my kernels now. -- 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.
