Listmates,
Latest fresh install of 11.0 has been quite frustrating. The original install went fine and the system booted fine. After 2nd online-update (1st update just updated zypper/package mgmt) the machine is left unbootable with GRUB ERROR 17. I have included as much information about the setup as I can manually type from within (Rescue# ). Why did online update break the boot loader config and how do I fix grub now? My guess is your grub.conf is the problem. BTW, I have no idea why you have a separate /boot partition in your setup, but not the problem. To fix it, boot to the rescue system, and reinstall grub to your MBR of sda, i.e. mount /dev/md1 /mnt mount /dev/md0 /mnt/boot mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys cd /mnt chroot /mnt
#Then reinstall grub via grub command line: root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) #Then to install in the other drives MBR for possible fallover: root (hd1,0) setup (hd1) quit #That will leave grub command line. exit shutdown -r now That should get you going. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
