I booted from a 12.2 Milestone 2 DVD into rescue, the Milestone 3 DVD fails rescue. I mounted /dev/sda1 as /mnt chroot /mnt grub2-install complained it couldn't find / (as I remember). Booted 12.2 Milestone 3 DVD and chose install --> upgrade, included factory repos. It's up and running as Milestone 3. It's backed off some of the changes, e.g gcc is now back at 4.6.3 whereas it was 4.7.0 previously. The cause of the bug has been identified and a fix is being worked on. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

Try if this command sequence works? 1. Boot to rescue system 2. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt (suppose /dev/sda1 is your / partition) 3. mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev 4. mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys 5. mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc 6. chroot /mnt 7. /usr/sbin/grub2-install --force --skip-fs-probe /dev/sda1 8. reboot Regards, Michael

Before rebooting I ran "grub2-install -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" as I did on the other box not yet rebooted. This time Milestone 4 booted. So that workaround works. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
