http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551642 Summary: After upgrading from 11.1, default kernel is set to 2.6.27.29-0.1-pae (from 11.1), but fails to boot Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: novell_david@bailey.id.au QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=324985) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=324985) console messages from failed boot of 2.6.27.29-0.1-pae kernel User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.14) Gecko/2009090900 SUSE/3.0.14-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.14 Upgraded an openSUSE 11.1 (VMware virtual machine) to 11.2 RC2 After the upgrade, new GRUB entries had been added for 2.6.27.29-0.1-default and desktop kernels, but the default remained at 2.6.27.29-0.1-pae from the 11.1 installation. Attempting to boot from the default entry fails waiting for the /dev/sda2 partition to appear (the root partition). In the /boot partition, I can see vmlinuz, initrd, system-map entries for both the new and existing kernels. They all appear to be about the right size (when compared to other systems I have) However the modules for the 2.6.27.29-0.1-pae kernel appear to be largely missing (presumably deleted during the upgrade) du -sh /lib/modules/2.6.27.29-0.1-pae 2.4M /lib/modules/2.6.27.29-0.1-pae However, on another 11.1 system, I get: 71M 2.6.27.29-0.1-pae Booting from any of the new 11.2 entries appear to work OK. However many users may not realise (as I initially didn't), that the default is actually from the previous installation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Upgrade system from 11.1 to 11.2 2.Upgrade keeps kernel from previous installation as default 3.System fails to boot from default kernel entry. Actual Results: Boot fails with error message waiting for device /dev/sda2 to appear ........ -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
