They both claim an invalid device is referenced. WORKSTATION1L:/home/cjp # grub-install GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower / 3072K upper memory) [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=269195#c6 Alexander Osthof changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity|Blocker |Major --- Comment #6 from Alexander Osthof 2007-07-09 03:22:14 MST --- As this problem can be workarounded by manual intervention, I degrade the severity to MAJOR. This is a known problem (installing or upgrading from removable devices) and we try to find a suitable solution. But the problem is, that one needs a reliable way to detect whether a removable device is used for installation/upgrade because such gets Bios ID 0x80 (first bootable device in the system). According to this behavior, the hard disk(s) get IDs 0x81 (0x82...). Based on this state, the device.map gets written correctly, but it's only valid as long as the removable device is still plugged. If removed and machine rebooted, the order of device will be remapped, thus the hard disk (which one uses to boot from) will then get the device ID 0x80. From this point on, the device mapping in device.map is no longer valid. Hang on, the problem will be solved in the near future. -- 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.
