[Bug 340466] New: Problems updating from 10.2 to 10.3
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340466 Summary: Problems updating from 10.2 to 10.3 Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i386 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: manfred_krupka@ish.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Customer Hello, my 2nd attempt to upgrade was more successful than the 1st one but not free of errors: My constellation: /boot on /dev/hda1 (64 MB) ext3 / on /dev/hda2 rest of device LVM using reiserfs Before this 2nd attempt I changed /dev/hda1 to /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab. With this action the update has been done, and the new kernel has been written to /boot on /dev/sda1 without problems. Only the final boot from hard disc failed because GRUB had the following problems: In /boot/grub/device.map there was the "old" entry (hd0) /dev/hda. So in menu.lst there was no "hd0" but I found /dev/sda1 instead. Grub was not able to start. I fixed the problem having a look into my old 10.2 systems /boot partition and recognized that in device.map should be the entry (hd0) /dev/sda instead of hda. I started the rescue system and corrected both device.map and menu.lst, and after this correction the system startet without problems. So my recommedation for the 3rd update - I will not do it because 10.3 is running :-) Make the following changes in the old system 10.2: 1. /etc/fstab from hdax to sdax 2. /boot/grub/device.map from hda to sda I think the update will be done without any problem.
