The x86 iso is indeed broken: it has a /boot/i386 tree (like a bi-arch iso but without i386 packages). If you boot from dvd you wouldn't normally notice but after your copy-to-disk operation you for some reason booted in i386 mode (see your logs above). Things to fix: a) kiwi should stop with an error if links are missing (Jan) b) /boot/i386 must not be on x86_64-only isos (probably Christoph) -- 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 issue with the missing links under /boot/<arch> is finally fixed with kiwi-3.09 which was submitted yesterday. I'll look into the problem anyway as soon as time permits. As a quick guess, I think the branding link is part of the installation-images package; maybe it was unpacked incorrectly. Volker, it would be very interesting if this still happened with GM.
