I boot the installation DVD. It goes through the whole installation/upgrade process using /dev/sdb2 as the target boot disk. That is placed in the boot loader. After the initial boot, the target boot volume's name is changed to /dev/sbc2. I have had to manually modify the boot loader data so that the correct disk is loaded right away. Otherwise it times out, asks if it should find the volume by ID, and waits for input. After changing the target boot volume, the system boots normally. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade an earlier version of openSuse to v12.x It may depend on the disk complement. Actual Results: As described above. Expected Results: I do not need to modify the boot loader to properly boot the system after an installation from DVD. sda - 1TB sata sdb - 1TB sata, external sdc - 36GB SCSI u160 <== has boot partition on sdc2 sdd - 72GB SCSI u160 /dev/sda1 on /d500g type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) /dev/sdb5 on /backup01 type btrfs (rw,relatime,space_cache) /dev/sdc2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) /dev/sdc3 on /usr type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) /dev/sdd1 on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) -- 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.
