[opensuse-factory] Problems with Tumbleweed Kernel
Hello Mates, since two times (?) i have trouble after updating the Tumbleweed Kernel. After finishing the Update i make a reboot. Then after the reboot the first and second part of GRUB starts. But after choosing the new Kernel i''m getting the black screen of GRUB. Just after a manual adding of the root device in /boot/grub/menu.lst he comes up. But if the next updates i must each time manual hack the menu.lst i think it's too much work. Does anyone can reproduce this error? -- Sincerely Yours Sascha Manns open-slx Community & Support Agent openSUSE Membership Comitee openSUSE Marketing Team Web: http://saigkill.homelinux.net German Community Portal: http://community.open-slx.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Perhaps not. Anyway I'm afraid I do not completely understand your problem. Is there no root= paramter in menu.lst of grub for new kernels? thanks, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Someone on forum had something similar, hand editing and saving of "correct" menu.list file allowed boot. Do you have the /boot contained in a partition with low LBA numbers? If not the updated menu.lst file might be saved in a high LBA which breaks some BIOS limitation? I got a warning on recent install about that, and in the forum users case, it would explain why updates usually worked. You play "block allocation" roulette on every update. Good luck!
