Happens with the final openSUSE 11.0.
Trying to fix this during installation does not work, at least I did not find a
workaround yet. What I tried: Created /tmp/YaST2_keep_sshd_running so that I
get a chance to fix this before the first reboot. However, the steps that fixed
the problem in the Rescue System did not work. Here is what I did:
mount /dev/md2 /mnt
mount /dev/md0 /mnt/boot
mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc
mount -t sysfs /sys /mnt/sys
mknod /mnt/dev/sda b 8 0
mknod /mnt/dev/sda1 b 8 1
mknod /mnt/dev/sda2 b 8 2
mknod /mnt/dev/sda3 b 8 3
mknod /mnt/dev/sdb b 8 16
mknod /mnt/dev/sdb1 b 8 17
mknod /mnt/dev/sdb2 b 8 18
mknod /mnt/dev/sdb3 b 8 19
chroot /mnt
cat >/etc/grub.conf < setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0,0) (hd0,0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0,0)
/boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.lst "... succeeded
Done.
grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd1,0) (hd0,0)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd1,0)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0,0)"... failed (this is not fatal)
Running "install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd1,0)
/boot/grub/stage2 p /boot/grub/menu.lst "... succeeded
Done.
Result: On reboot I get a "invalid partition table" BIOS message.
When I try the same in the Rescue System it works. The grub-install messages
are identical and afterwards the system boots correctly.
Unfortunately, using the Rescue System on the remote server is not an option,
therefore please allow me to raise the priority and set the severity to
"blocker".
