Second problem is that 10.2 and 10.1 kernel`s are not able to cope with /dev/by-id. After migration 10.2 and 10.1 systems will not boot. Manual change is needed to modify root=/dev/sda{1,3} menu.lst file in 11.1b2 (system I use for migration) contained right values, but manualy edited (fixed by hand because in Beta2 automatic generation of grub menu didn`t work for me). -- 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.
