[Bug 250654] New: after upgrade 10.2->10.3alpha1plus, grub and fstab were not properly updated
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250654 Summary: after upgrade 10.2->10.3alpha1plus, grub and fstab were not properly updated Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 1plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sbrabec@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com After an update from 10.2 (using via82cxxx) to 10.3 alpha1plus (using libata, see bug 250241), system was not properly updated: /boot/grub/menu.lst contains "/dev/sda" instead of "hd0" and grub fails to install on "bad number". /etc/fstab is not updated from /dev/hda* to /dev/sda* (however it asked me for it, see bug 250247). After manual fixing of these two issues, I was able to finish the installation. Additional note: During stage 1 while YaST was waiting for user input (probably after mentioned grub error) there was a power outage. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

This is why I reopened this bug. Especially /etc/fstab was not updated correctly from /dev/hda to /dev/sda. Also Grub's menu.lst was incorrect (like described above). The grub problems where probably caused by an device.map which still contained /dev/hda instead of /dev/sda. After manual fixing the system booted correctly. -- 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.
