[Bug 237209] New: grub badly configured during installation
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=237209 Summary: grub badly configured during installation Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: fremenzone@poczta.onet.pl QAContact: jsrain@novell.com My drive configuration is in attachment in next comment. sda is a SATA drive I use for linux. It had SuSE 10.0 installed previously. HDA is a primary master used for Windows, it has windows bootloader installed in it's MBR. I went through the first step of installation of SuSE 10.2. I choose to install grub into sda MBR. After installation of grub was complete (no errors here) I rebooted. Booted from sda, and the grub forst gave me error message that it can't find file (hd1,0)/boot/message (I don't remember exactly, I didn't write it down). Then a grub text menu displays with suse and windows. Choosing Suse to boot gave me error similar to this: "unknown partition type: 7". I didn't try to boot into windows. My solution: I booted from dvd and choose rescue option. Then I went to edit grub configuration files. File device.map was: (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd1) /dev/sda (hd0) /dev/hda and file menu.lst had menu entries like this: title openSUSE 10.2 root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-34-default root=/dev/sda1 vga=0x31a resume=/dev/sda7 splash=silent showopts initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18.2-34-default ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: windows### title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader (hd0,0)+1 I changed device.map to (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/hda and menu.lst entries to: ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: linux### title openSUSE 10.2 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 vga=0x31a resume=/dev/sda7 splash=silent showopts initrd /boot/initrd ###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: windows### title Windows rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader (hd1,0)+1 The suse booted ok, but the windows did not.

To me thie looks like a BIOS problem. Is your BIOS capable of switching boot source from disk one to disk two and vice versa.
I don't understand why would it be a BIOS problem. If you ask if I can choose which hard drive to boot from, then yes.
Does it still occure with openSUSE 10.3.?
Don't know, I still have 10.2 and I don't plan to upgrade
Could you attach the yast logs?
Which one? -- 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.
