[Bug 331685] New: grub won't boot after upgrade + various
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331685 Summary: grub won't boot after upgrade + various Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: kq8z67r6309fo9001@sneakemail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=176693) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=176693) yast-generated menu.lst I upgraded a machine from 10.2 to 10.3. After installing the packages and rebooting, I'm left with a grub shell (no menu, graphical or otherwise). Tried so far: root (hd0,4) works a subsequent "kernel" command causes the machine to immediately reboot Booting into the rescue system with the DVD and then running grub, then root (hd0,4) setup (hd0) appears to work, but still just boots to a grub shell. The above fix was necessary on two other systems upgraded from 10.2 to 10.3, but obviously doesn't work here. Attempting to boot into a repair install from the CD just gives a yast curses screen saying something like "An error occured during installation". Attempting to start a normal install and then selecting "repair install" as the installation type reboots the system. The system was previously running 10.2 without incident for some time. There is presently no way to boot the system. I will attach "hwinfo all" output and menu.lst. Differences between this system and the other two mentioned above: * newer hardware * no boot partition * root is on a logical partition * root is xfs * disk is large (but BIOS supports LBA48, or claims to) * kubuntu is also installed (bootloader never installed, though) -- 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.

Could you please attach YaST2 logs? It might be a yast-bootloader problem. If in doubt follow: http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST
