https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=396578 Summary: Mkinitrd fails on kernel update in OpenSuse 11 Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Booting AssignedTo: jsrain@novell.com ReportedBy: davidgoree2003@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- I had OpenSuse 11 beta 3 and was updating to RC 1. This obviously include a kernel update. When I restart it says "file not found". So I start a LiveCD (OpenSuse 11 RC 1), and I check the /boot on my hard drive. The install had apparently failed to create an initrd, it was simply a bronken link. I copy my /dev from cd to the hd and chroot into the disk. I run mkinitrd and I get this error: "ReadPartitions(): Failed to open dir /sys/block at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/Bootloader/Tools.pm line 280." I exit chroot, and unmount. I do a "mkinitrd -d /dev/sdb1" It gives me an error of: " Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.4-8-default Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.25.4-8-default Kernel Modules: <not available> Could not find map /dev/sdb1/boot/System.map, please specify a correct file with -M. 2008-06-02 17:40:05 ERROR: Bootloader::Library::SetLoaderType: Initializing for unknown bootloader 2008-06-02 17:40:05 ERROR: Bootloader::Core::ListFiles: Running generic function, it should never be called 2008-06-02 17:40:05 ERROR: Bootloader::Core::ParseLines: Running generic function, it should never be called" , but it still creates the initrd. I haven't restarted into it yet, to see if it's valid. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
