https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768063 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768063#c0 Summary: empty /boot/grub2/grub.cfg written when grub is selected as bootloader Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain@suse.com ReportedBy: ohering@suse.com QAContact: jsrain@suse.com CC: carnold@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- with 12.2-beta2 an empty /boot/grub2/grub.cfg is written even if grub is selected as bootloader. This happens in a Xen PV guest. Unfortunately this is a real issue (now that bug #766283 is fixed) because pygrub on the host tries a few common bootloader config file locations, and grub.cfg is probed before menu.lst. So it thinks that grub2 instead of grub is used in the guest. The empty file leads to a boot failure because obviously no kernel can be found. -- 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.
