I have had a system running fine since oss 10.1 (upgraded from there on to the current nightmare that is 11.1).
Here is the system disk layout:
Two 300 GB SATA hard drives - sda and sdba sda1 and sdb1 are 130 MG, them mirrored using md raid into /dev/md0. /dev/md0 has ext3 mounted as /boot. sda2 and sdb2 are 1 GB, then mirrored using md raid into /dev/md1. /dev/md1 is swap. sda3 and sdb3 are 274 GB, then mirrored using md raid into /dev/md2. /dev/md2 has lvm on it, with / being /dev/system/system. Grub installed in mbr of sda.
This system has been running great. I upgraded in-place from 11.0 to 11.1, and everything was still fine. Then I built a custom kernel (as I have done with all other versions - the only thing I change is set the processor type). During the custom kernel install phase, make modules_install worked fine, but I noticed some weird device-mapper "no such file or device" error message during make install. I did not think much of it (probably a BIG mistake). Verified new vmlinuz and initrd were in place and /boot/grub/menu.lst looked kosher. Rebooted the system, and it went to pot.

Thanks Josef, I had seen the issue mentioned in that bug and worked around it (there was a patch for Tools.pm in bootloader mentioned somewhere). However, having put a work around in place for this bug still does not do anything to help with the Grub issue. -- --Moby They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
