I realize that rescue mode is intended for power users, but perhaps some documentation would help, or perhaps even a chroot helper script could be included on the rescue disk? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install or upgrade openSUSE 12.1 2.Encounter a problem that prevents the system from rebooting. 3.Enter Rescue mode, mount the target system, mount --bind various things, and chroot. Attempt a fix, such as by running yast. Actual Results: Perhaps this explains my lack of success with attempting to use yast to update my grub configuration? Expected Results: Programs should work properly in the chroot environment. I can't guarantee that not applying mount --bind to /run caused my attempt to use yast to fail. Perhaps I'll run into similar circumstances when I attempt more updates to openSUSE 12.1. If so, I'll submit a more specific bug report. However, I felt motivated to report the introduction of "/run" as a possible progenitor of problems. While I'm at it, I'd like to mention that: http://www.novell.com/documentation/ does not have a section for openSUSE 12.1. Is it intended to keep updating the "www.novell.com" with reference documentatin for openSUSE, or will I start to see documentation appear on "opensuse.org"? -- 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.
