I used kexec on the rescue system to boot the new kernel and was able to discover that the bootloader wasn't updated. The old boot installed system would have booted with the dvd or cd's kernel. I am proposing being able to boot your installed system's kernel(s) from installation media boot menu. -- 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 old linuxrc boot installed system (10.3) booted with its own kernel and not the installed systems one, or so it seemed to me. I was proposing a method of booting with installed system's kernel. I apologize if this is already implemented in some way. -- 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.

Anyway, I basically agree with you (see bug 373569) but I don't have time to implement something.

Changed to x86_64 and clean installed. All thats needed is:- kexec -l /mnt/boot/vmlinuz --initrd=/mnt/boot/initrd ;kexec -e to bypass a broken grub and boot installed system with installed kernel. -- 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.
