You seem right, I removed the insmod lvm and I still could boot my system, and I also think that one of the things I did was grub2-install ... remains the question why yast did not do that for me? thx for your help. -- 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.

The order of installation is correct and should have produced working grub2. The only case I can think of is when you happen to have grub2 which is using update-bootloader --reinit but too old perl-Bootloader that does not yet support it.

I think I found the reason. In an old copy of that file I found /dev/sdb4, which of course was not a valid partition. -- 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.

Maybe you manually do grub2-install /dev/sda and is unaware by yast or 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.
