[opensuse-factory] kernel update brake the boot
You are probably already informed :-), but the last 10.2 kernel update brake the computer boot... the menu.lst of grub is badly rewriten and the previous kernel and initrd are deleted this may be related to a special config.. I have on my drive * hda1 swap * hda2 10.2 * hda3 SLES boot menu was (from memory, it's no more here) floppy 10.2 * (default) SLES new compiled kernel The new grub menu.lst is below (because not anybody needs to read it). It default to floppy boot!!! the sles boots, hopefully! but not the others. vmlinuz and initrd (in /boot) are linked to the compiled kernel 0.3 (not by me!!) so the fix wads simple: shorten the entries of openSUSE 10.2 (/dev/hdc2) but it's a chance the new kernel works (it only allows more usb debugging) jdd (must leav now, will fill a bug later if necessary) default menu.lst # Modified by YaST2.

Here was mess. In menu.lst initrd was listed with version string. for both old and new kernel. Old version of kernel and initrd that should be rescue if new doesn't work wasn't linked anywhere and if it was modules were deleted. New version was first in the list and set as default. There was Failsafe option for new kernel as second and than old entries?! What would be the purpose? BTW, new kernel worked fine. There seems to be problem with kernel sources too. I compiled new kernel with system clock of 1000 Hz where I changed version string suffix from default to custom, but new compilation overwrote default kernel modules instead to install it in a new subdirectory, which was the problem as I manually copied kernel to /boot directory, but modules were installed in wrong place. After installation of old kernel from DVD system and cleanup of /boot directory and menu.lst I was able to boot, but YOU has no clue what happened and there is no update offered. Second problem is that it is offering samba update that was installed twice and after reboot it comes up again. It is patch 3350-0. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Here was mess. It was, but not as described.
Old kernel was removed as jdd stated. Default I set right after installation and forgot about it. Here is untouched version of menu list after second attempt to update: ************************ # Modified by YaST2.

Did you install the new perl-bootloader as well?

The new bootloader should have been pulled in automatically due to Prerequires. The perl-Bootloader just still has flaws.

I don't even know what is this about? I installed 10.2 (box) and all updates. I had the same problem with the previous update, but couldn't report The boot loader is GRUB, and thanks to it's boot console I could fix the problem jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://gourmandises.orangeblog.fr/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Too bad - this means we need a bugreport and another round of testing and fixing :-( Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
