For safety sake, I bumped the version number (0.7.0->0.7.1) in my config.xml and changed the name and after performing a new build I'm getting an image that won't boot from USB. The kiwi build process completes successfully but when loaded onto a USB stick results in GRUB giving an Error 21. If I reload the old image on the USB stick it loads fine and the system can boot again. It looks like the build process has changed from using fdisk to parted and I'm guessing other pieces have changed as well. When I compare the old image (built within the last 60 days) to the new one with the file command I see: zenboot.x86_64-0.7.0.raw: x86 boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x3, stage2 address 0x2000, stage2 segment 0x200, GRUB version 0.97; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 1, startsector 63, 1654632 sectors zenboot.x86_64-0.7.1.raw: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 1, startsector 63, 1654632 sectors I currently have the following kiwi packages installed although I unfortunately don't have the older (< 2 month old) version numbers. kiwi-desc-isoboot-4.26-91.1 kiwi-desc-xenboot-4.26-91.1 kiwi-4.26-91.1 kiwi-tools-4.26-91.1 kiwi-desc-oemboot-4.26-91.1 kiwi-desc-usbboot-4.26-91.1 kiwi-templates-4.26-91.1 kiwi-desc-vmxboot-4.26-91.1 kiwi-pxeboot-4.26-91.1 kiwi-desc-netboot-4.26-91.1 Reproducible: Always -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's pretty odd because the log file showed that grub was installed successfully. Do you see any differences from the output of sfdisk -l zenboot.x86_64-0.7.0.raw sfdisk -l zenboot.x86_64-0.7.1.raw Thanks -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
