https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223773 ------- Comment #12 from jengelh@gmx.de 2006-12-02 03:27 MST ------- Yet another comment, including solution. Snapshot state: Works. Case 1: Upgrading grub installs a stage2-only loader, which hangs at next boot. Case 2: Upgrading grub and running grub-install afterwards to have a stage1.5-2-loader, causes a VM machine fault at next boot. Case 3: Upgrading grub, *replacing* /boot/grub/stage2 with /usr/lib/grub/stage2 so that they both have *the same md5* and then running grub-install makes the machine boot successfully. ================================================== Answer to comment #11: grub --batch </etc/grub.conf pokes into /boot/grub/stage2. I suppose GRUB does not get it right and the boot hangs/faults. I suppose the "sync" is not long enough. Also try removing the 2>/dev/null >&1 in the `grub --batch` line. -- 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.
