http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557220 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557220#c0 Summary: grub installation broken (weired (hd1,1000009) and /dev/sdb1000010) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: koenig@linux.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- I tried to install 11.2 on an 8 GB SSD as 2nd disk removable disk in my notebook. hw setup: /dev/sda is internal "real" hard disk (shall not be touched), /dev/sdb is the SSD in sata disk bay (replacement for DVD drive). I changed boot loader config in yast to write MBR to /dev/sdb. when yast tried to install grub, I got an error msg and checked grub files in yast menu. /etc/grub.conf looked like this: setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd1,1000009) (hd1,0) setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0) (hd1,0) quit I removed the 1st line and changed (hd0) to (hd1) and tried again to install boot loader via yast. again error, now /etc/grub.conf contained this: setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd1,1000009) (hd1,0) quit editing that file in yast again and replacing (hd1,1000009) by (hd1) finally succeeded and yast "happyly" installed the boot loader. BUT: that procedure somehow touched the MBR in /dev/sda :-( now if I boot from internal sda, I get the boot menu from new SSD installation and I have to switch to the old disk via chain loader -- my plans have been different. you can find y2logs as attachmend id=328678 to bug #557209 here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=328678 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
