[opensuse] partition problem os11.1
Hi, I just ran 'zypper up' on an openSUSE 11.1 machine. This pulled in a new kernel: kernel-pae-2.6.27.39-0.2.1 kernel-pae-extra-2.6.27.39-0.2.1.i586 The installation of the kernel packages brought with it a warning message (repeated multiple times for each package): 2009-12-26 07:28:01 WARNING: GRUB::GrubDev2UnixDev: No partition found for /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3300831A_3NF0VTGS with 1. I am a bit gun shy at this point to reboot the new system, being afraid the machine will not find the kernel or other important stuff at boot time and turn into a brick.

I saw this recently myself, but I had actually changed hard disks; could this be true for you, too? FWIW, I simply edited /boot/grub/device.map and replaced the /dev/disk/... string with /dev/sdx (replace x with what's true for your installation).

As installing a different/new kernel doesn't interfere with GRUB anymore (as it did for LILO), you should be safe to reboot. However, re-installing GRUB is just plain easy: grub --batch < /etc/grub.conf Ensure that the settings are correct, _in case_ you did replace a disk!
Help is appreciated, Robert

I've seen that scariness happen more than once, including yesterday on a Socket A machine using a PATA disk running 11.2 & stock 2.6.31-desktop, though I don't remember whether I've seen it before on the same machine or on others. I don't worry about bad new initrds because I have zypp configured to permit multiple kernel versions and just boot a previous if something goes wrong in a new one. Still in spite of those errors, the new kernel & initrd work for me. -- " We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion."
