https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331662 Summary: System Fails to boot after install with missing file Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: suse-list3@bout-tyme.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Other System: HP ML330 G3, 768m ram, Smart Array 532 controller with three drives setup as raid 5, one IDE drive installed on LSI controller. After clean install of 10.3 upon reboot the following error comes up: GRUB Loading stage2... graphics file "(/dev/cciss/c0d0p1,0)/message" missing. I then hit enter to continue and get a grub text screen and hit enter to start the system using 10.3 where upon the following error comes up: error 23: error while parsing number I was able to continue by booting to the repair on DVD (which also errors out) by selecting boot installed system (which is the only way to boot now).

Here, just a really wild guess: Copy the c0d0p1 node to /dev and reinstall some rpm kernel (so that /sbin/update-bootloader with all the glory args run through), and see if it's still (/dev/) or hopefully (hd0). -- 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.

GRUB (that is the bootloader, not the shell you run in the installed system!) does not scan partitions for /dev. Especially since /dev is on tmpfs and there are no device nodes before the kernel has booted and udev runs. Use (hd1) /dev/cciss/c0d0 in /boot/grub/devices.map and tell menu.lst to use root (hd1,0) -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331662#c8 --- Comment #8 from Ken Schneider <suse-list3@bout-tyme.net> 2007-10-10 17:26:17 MST --- Having used linux for many years (over 10) I seem to recall that there used to be a "boot" command also that would point to c0d0p1 as that is my "boot" partition. My "root" partition is c0d0p3 with c0d0p2 being used as swap. Here is where I start to get a little fuzzy. In the devices.map file I specify a /dev device for hd1 but as you say grub knows nothing about /dev until the kernel boots. I have modified /boot/grub/devices.map as follows: (hd0) /dev/mapper/lsi_jhicccaiaa (hd1) /dev/cciss/c0d0 (fd0) /dev/fd0 and I have the following in /boot/grub/menu.lst: # Modified by YaST2.

I made the following changes: In /boot/grub/device.map I removed any reference to the IDE drive I.E. (hd0) /dev/cciss/c0d0 (fd0) /dev/fd0 In /boot/grub/menu.lst all root entries are now in the form of "root (hd0,0)" The whole problem points to the IDE drive being referenced in device.map when it should not have been. Thanks Jan for helping to point me in the right direction, I did manage to figure out some of the grub commands enough to fix my problem. This still needs to go to QA and get fixed for other people that might have the same or similar hardware config. Hopefully it will be fixed for 11.0 alpha. This should NOT be routinely closed just because I was able to fix my problem. -- 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.
