[Bug 824033] New: grub (0.97): Invalid device.map created by YaST
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=824033 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=824033#c0 Summary: grub (0.97): Invalid device.map created by YaST Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Ulrich.Windl@rz.uni-regensburg.de QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 At the end of an upgrade from openSUSE 12.1 to openSUSE 12.3, the grub bootmanager failed to install. Investigating the problem, it turned out that /boot/grub/device.map was changed in a way grub could not handle. The bad entry was: (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD7500AVDS-_WD-WCAV5K940647 While the working entry is: (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD7500AVDS-63U8B0_WD-WCAV5K940647 Despite of that other entries for (fd0) and (hd1) were removed from device.map, and no valid backup was left behind. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade your openSUSE to 12.3 Actual Results: grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0) (hd0,5) Error 21: Selected disk does not exist Expected Results: GRUB should be able to install Even when I fixed the bad device.map by breaking into a shell-console (Ctrl+Alt+F2), retrying the bootloader configuration broke the file again -- 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.

Reassigning to maintainer of yast2-bootloader, maybe there are special reasons I do not know why grub refuses to work. -- 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.
