[Bug 234146] New: Boot fails after installing to Dell Inspiron 5150
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=234146 Summary: Boot fails after installing to Dell Inspiron 5150 Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ammulder@chariotsolutions.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I installed to a Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop. On this machine, the CD-ROM is /dev/hda and the hard drive is /dev/hdc. Before the install, the drive was cleaned with "shred /dev/hdc". The installation went normally. I did not change any settings related to partitioning (I used its default suggestion) or booting (I just didn't customize anything there). When it rebooted after installing software, the boot hung on a black screen (before any Grub menu or text appeared). When the install CD was in the drive and I let its boot menu timeout, it went to a black screen, printed something like "booting from hard drive..." and then froze there with nothing else on the screen. I booted in rescue mode and manually ran "grub-install /dev/hdc" and rebooted, and then I got the expected Grub menu and things worked normally. I'm not sure if this is related to the fact that the disk was previously shredded, or that the hard drive is not /dev/hda as you might expect, or something else, but it was sure a little frightening to have it hang on boot. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Then we have a correct setup (bootloader in activated primary partition), but Dell broke the MBR so that you can't boot from it. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
