Well, this is apparently working with 12.3. I wonder what changed since then...
We used to build grub by a fixed version gcc and build flags for some obscured reasons. Now this fixed gcc no longer provided by openSUSE factory and we forced to use new version gcc and some build flags were changed in order to have successful build. Not sure whether this related to the regression here. -- 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.

Because this bug is about GRUB1, which is not part of SLE 12.
Yes, please refer to bug 861952 for GRUB2. Same result (at least unless my HW or BIOS setup is broken). -- 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.

BTW are those patches required for GRUB2, too? -- 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.

I wonder how the system could get installed just fine, but then didn't boot. It didn't boot even without raid1, so this bug probably could be closed (depending on the plans with GRUB1), this was most likely a different problem. Though I have no idea what needs to be done to have the system boot with the original setting. -- 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.

This worked with mdadm metadata 0.90 which was located at the end of device so filesystem started at the beginning. The problem is, mdadm defaults changed to metadata 1.2 which is located in the beginning so now grub1 cannot access filesystem. Cf. bnc#891678. If you want to make it work with grub1 you must force metadata 1.0 for /boot (I guess we do not really want to go back to 0.90). -- 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.
