[opensuse-factory] Factory install no longer boots
Hello, This morning I changed the repo URLs from the /distribution path to the /repository path (/factory is still empty). Invoked a zypper dup, which of course 'downgraded' a lot of packages, which is not really surprising, as the release tags were just lower.. but version-vise it looked ok. The solver did not have any issues, no complains. After the installation of all the packages (which passed without problem too), I restarted the system. The bad thing now is, that it does not come up anymore... actually not even the grub bootloader comes up.. I can see 'loading grub, please wait' (or alike), but grub menu os selection never appears. How hosed is my install ? :) Which would be the best tip you can give me (I was planning on booting from CD, checking the boot folder, checking the grub setup, maybe invoking 'setup' from withing grub again... but you might have a shorter / faster trick at hand).

I spent Wednesday trying to fix my broken system after using yast to update all in the system list which is the same as zypper dup but at least mine booted, I think because I was still using lilo. My console worked but no mouse or keyboard in x. Anyway the only way I could get going again was a clean install of 11.0. Try installing lilo from system repair, 11.0 dvd repair still works for bootloader, it worked but you cant seem to have a graphic screen in lilo anymore. You've got me worried now, I'm busy trying a dup on a slimmed down system with grub. There are a lot of packages in the temporary factory that have version tags lower than the 11.0 packages.

After zypper dup completed I performed zypper in -f kernel-pae with no problem, it must have been an installation bug. Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
Hi,
"Dominique Leuenberger"
The bad thing now is, that it does not come up anymore... actually not even the grub bootloader comes up.. I can see 'loading grub, please wait' (or alike), but grub menu os selection never appears.
How hosed is my install ? :) Which would be the best tip you can give me (I was planning on booting from CD, checking the boot folder, checking the grub setup, maybe invoking 'setup' from withing grub again... but you might have a shorter / faster trick at hand).
Looks like you ran into https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=428127 The thing is that even a manual grub setup does not work, because it is broken itself. You need a fixed grub first.
