Is this normal on the first update after a 'Update' between versions?
Inability to boot after install is rather common in recent distros' recent versions. It seems worse with RAID. I created two new RAID1 systems recently, resulting in filing https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463033 .
Both of those systems have no problem booting, because I first fully partitioned prior to beginning installations, and put Grub on the first disk partitions non-RAID, and do not mount the real boot partition on any installed system's /boot. I maintain menu.lst on that partition manually. http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/f965-02.txt is the partitioning I used on both (made prior to completion of the first install). I installed 11.0 from the boxed DVD on both. On one I also installed 11.1 from HTTP. The other is waiting till my 11.1 DVD box shows up. I use labels on all partitions, mount all important partitions by LABEL, and use root=LABEL= in Grub.
Other than booting, things were going fine until the first update where after update removed zypper and went to install the new kernel and kernel-source a post install script bombed cratering my system. Screw this update business! mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/samba/computer/linux/openSuSE/iso/suse11.0/openSUSE-11.0-DVD-i386.iso /usr/local/inst/suse110i386/ rcnfsserver start exportfs (confirmed exported) Throw in the DVD and F4 choose nfs and reformat /dev/sda2 I humbly remain a man with 0 successful update... :-( -- David C.
