Description Forgotten User nqeDWc8OMK 2007-08-23 13:01:59 UTC

I tried to restore grub using the install cd, but it seems trying to mount the boot partition as ext3 when in fact it is reiserfs.

After a partition & fstab checks all finished ok.

Please, attach YaST logs.

Comment 2 Lukas Ocilka 2007-08-30 08:42:57 UTC

Any news here?

Comment 3 Forgotten User nqeDWc8OMK 2007-08-30 11:12:19 UTC

I didn't have time yet.

Btw how can I get the logs if I'm working with the installation media ?

Yast logs.

The boot partition is /dev/hda3

Comment 6 Lukas Ocilka 2007-08-31 08:23:14 UTC

clients/inst_system_analysis.ycp:429 Calling inst_repair

/bin/mount /dev/hda3 /mnt
exit: 0

There are several errors reported in y2log for the bootloader however it's better to have it checked by maintainer of `yast repair` before reassigning to maintainer of bootloader.

Comment 7 Lukas Ocilka 2007-08-31 08:35:35 UTC

YaST log contains also these errors:

Kernel.ycp:373 Argument (cpuinfo_flags) to size(...) is nil
Kernel.ycp:373 Nil can be compared only for equality and non-equality
Kernel.ycp:373 Condition expression evaluates to nil in ?: expression

- Fixing evaluation of unreadable cpuflags in Kernel.ycp (#303842).
- yast2-2.15.51

Comment 8 Jiří Suchomel 2007-09-02 19:33:02 UTC

I believe (= I do not have time to check this, I'm on vacation) the bug (if any) is in bootloader code, as repair only uses its routines.

No ressources assigned here right now, will address problem later

Comment 11 Joachim Plack 2008-03-20 04:14:00 UTC

reevaluate for SLE11

Comment 12 Jozef Uhliarik 2009-04-17 15:33:28 UTC

the bug has same symptoms like bug #408733. it is about troubles with calling perl-Bootloader from yast2-bootloader.
