First I tried a 12.1 M5 Update installation from NET-DVD on the 11.4/sdc3 system disk. This resulted in a broken grub boot menu that didn't work and returned the following error message: Kernel (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-4-desktop root=/dev/sdc3 .... Error 22: No such partition 2. Afterwards I also tried a 12.1 M5/Gnome3 New Installation, and got the same error. 3. Doing a Rescue logon and mounting /dev/sdc3, the first sections of the /boot/grub/menu.lst contained: ------------- # Modified by YaST2.

This is a new bug in 12.1, as both 11.4 and Tumbleweed have worked correct. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update and New Installation on /dev/sdc3 as described above 2. 3. Actual Results: Broken Grub boot menu, Error 22 Expected Results: Should install and create correct disk destination as openSUSE 11.4 and Tumbleweed did on the same machine. -- 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.
