https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746627 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746627#c0 Summary: Yast install an invalid elilo.conf file and elilo.efi out of date Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: dexter.1234@hotmail.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0 elilo.efi version 3.12 is installed. Version 3.14 has long been available, incorporates SUSE patches, and works with current UEFI bioses. Please update. An invalid elilo.conf is installed which causes elilo.efi to abort boot loading. Below is a copy of the elilo.conf file installed on my system. # This file has been transformed by /sbin/elilo. # Please do NOT edit here -- edit /etc/elilo.conf instead! # Otherwise your changes will be lost e.g. during kernel-update. # # Modified by YaST2.

Options fX, delay, append, message, and root are similarly invalid. These options must be of the form option=value, otherwise elilo aborts. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install in UEFI environment with ELILO as the chosen boot loader. 2. Reboot the system. ELILO emits errors and aborts. 3. Expected Results: ELILO should boot openSUSE 12.1 -- 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.

How many lines of code are changed from our 3.12 to upstream 3.14 please? Last time I counted it was very close to zero -- so what would be gained by revving? 2. And yes, YaST on openSUSE writes a broken 'elilo' configuration, but unfortunately EFI-support has never been a priority for openSUSE. Yet, by manually deleting all the cruft (fX, delay, append, message, root) in that 'elilo.conf' you could still successfully boot 12.1 via EFI (on most(?) machines). In the meantime openSUSE switched to 'grub2', so I guess, there won't be any resources to fix 'elilo' configuration in 12.2 (and beyond). -- 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.
