Hello all,
After a DVD update from OpenSuSE 11.4 to 12.2, the system won't boot anymore. ... I am now a little confused, what i am missing? Help is needed....
12.2 is considerably different from 11.4. You say you did an update. Did you update through 12.0 and 12.1 before going to 12.2?
I wasn't aware that upgrading more than 1 version was supported, let alone 3. "Not supported" != "doesn't work" :-) I'm pretty certain I've done upgrades from 11.4 to 12.2 with no or only minimum problems.
Can you boot from a rescue image and mount your root in /mnt of the rescue?...
Depending on the state of things -- it used to be the case that you could chroot to /mnt and then do a mount -a, but depending on your partitions, that is much less likely to work in 12.2. It works fine actually, but don't forget to bind in /proc and /dev before chroot'ing.
Still, the OP's problem is really about the RAID config, afaict. I know have also seen the mysterious md12[567] et al but in my case it was caused by left-over superblocks that I no longer needed.
It's been a week since the original posting, so perhaps the problem has been solved? Otherwise I would be tempted to delete the md12[567], and then re-assemble the arrays in the way you know they're supposed to work. With all the usual caveats, don't forget to backup, wear belts and suspenders, hard hat etc.
I have solved the problem re-installing everything, but i have also made some experiments with a virtual machine. My setup is the following: - Install virtual machine with 11.4, md0 = root (/), md1 = swap, md2 = /home. - Upgrade the system with OpenSuSE 12.2 from DVD: same result, md renamed as md125 etc, system won't boot - Upgrade the system with OpenSuSE 12.2 from internet (zypper dup): system boot up normally after update, no md rename, and no problems at all. - Upgrade the system with OpenSuSE 12.1 from DVD: same result, md renamed as md125 etc, system won't boot I hope this tests can be useful for someone, now my guess is the DVD upgrade system with md devices is broken.a Cordially, Claudio Prono. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
