Hello list,
after Upgrading openSUSE Leap 42.2 to 42.3 on a machine, i cannot boot
anymore.
onboot grub starts in rescue mode:
error: symbol `grub_tpm_measure' not found.
Entering rescue mode
grub rescue>
set shows correct paths:
btrfs_relative_path=y
btrfs_subvol=
btrfs_subvolid=
cmdpath=(hd0)
lang=
locale_dir=
prefix=(hd1,msdos2)/boot/grub2
root=hd1,msdos2
if I call "insmod linux" or "insmod normal", I get the message:
error: symbol `grub_tpm_measure' not found
again.
How can I proceed? I do not have physical access, only connection is via
IPMI.
No EFI, but BIOS.
Thanks for any advice
Paul
I had this case on a machine not even a week ago.
The "miracle" is that prior to a certain version grub was seemingly more
"tollerant" to incorrect boot secttor indications.
Look exactly to were you boot sector of you opensuse installation should
point.
Make sure that in the BIOS the richt boot order is set accordingly.
That should do already. What grub says you there is, he cannot find the
grub enry whre it is searching it. So you have to make sure you BIOS
points exactly there.
In my case, the boot disc was not the first disc to be set for booting.
You can still find the thread in this archive (it was only a few weeks
ago).
Thanks for the hint, I tried to change boot order in BIOS, without
change, I replaced (hd0) <> (hd1) in the grub commands without success.
You may need ot indicate exactly not only the hdd (that would be if booting
from mbr but the sda/sdb or whatever respectively with the exact partition

the
boot entry of grub was written. In you case if you have e.g.  sda (with 
sda1,
sda2) and sdb (with /boot on sdb1 and /root on sdb2 you would have not only 
to
set the right boot order (or hdd) but also to indicate the partiton. I am 
not
expert enough about grub2 internals, but maybe Anton Aylward is (if he read
this, (at) Anton, would it be very tedious, could you have a look?)
This is exactly what I did (booted from both harddisks and tried every
  combination of partitions in root, cmdpath and prefix). grub2 also finds the
  needed files (otherwise  the error is "file `linux.mod' not found."). But it
  keeps the error about  grub_tpm_measure, despite which module I try to load
  normal or linux.
  as both hard disks are raid1, the content should also be the same, only 2
  partitions, swap at the beginning and btrfs containing all other filesystems.

  Another idea: Are there commands I can boot into an older snapshot (previous
  installed kernel...)?

A few more words to the installation:
It was a clean Leap 42.2 install. Upgrade (using zypper dup) went smooth
without any error/warning. Filesystem is btrfs with raid on two HDDs.
Bootloader installation was never changed.
Can you recommend any live system, which i could boot in using PXE?
That depends on what you aim at. If you want just a look on the grub files, 
a
mageia live DVD or a Knoppix will do. But if you want a Leap42.3 system, I 
am
afraid you will have to build your own live dvd with opensuse studio. I am 
not
proficient with the procedure but somebody here surely will be.
For the sake of interest: was this ever a dual boot system before, or did 
you
widen the system with extra hdd duirng a long period of flawless updating 
e.g.
from 13.2 to 42.1 - 42.2 and then 42.3, or was this from the very beginning 
a
42.2 install?
If you have the former case, think about on which disk there might be an 
entry
of grub2 that might be confusing to the installer. The only difference 
AFAIK
of 42.2 vs. 42.3 is some update to grub concerning UEFI.
My system was a BIOS system too. Same error, in my case a historical 
updated
system with former dual boot.
never, it was a clean only 42.2 install, btrfs raid added after install,
  because the yast setup did not support. bootloader was configured to be
  written in both MBRs. Never had problems at boot time.
  I can access BIOS (where i changed boot orders) and grub console using IPMI..
