Yast log just before just before initial reboot
It is duplicated of bug# 374365 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 374365 *** |
System with a RAID1 setup like this: Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80060424192 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda2 51 150 803250 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda3 * 151 9733 76975447+ 5 Extended /dev/sda7 1291 1918 5044378+ fd Linux raid autodetect md2 : active raid1 sda7[0] 5044288 blocks [2/1] [U_] (Yes there is only 1 disk in there.) The suggested grub installation comes up with a red "can't be done", which is nonsense. Explicitly, I set things to install grub in MBR, install generic boot loader, and use sda7 as root device (for loading menu.lst and the kernel from). System rootfs is md2. Once upon a time a SuSE 8.x or 9.x was able to configure this (install grub correctly on both disks of a RAID1), I'd really like to see this working again. I had to fix up the broken syntax of the yast-generated grub config files too, after that, the config files worked although the installer kept its opinion of "can't install this boot loader" in red. I'd attach a screen shot if yast hadn't saved an empty PNG instead.
