I tried to fix my bootloader config with the repair expert tools and this failed miserably with warnings about /dev/sda6 missing.

Also most widgets had all very tiny room, so they were unreadble, but I was unable to produce screenshots at that point.

Which module does complain about /dev/sda6 missing? Repair or Bootloader?

Which widgets are you talking about (I do not see any problem here)?

+ does it show any popup?

Comment 3 Jiří Suchomel 2008-05-29 06:53:58 UTC
+ did you try the select bootloader check in "Customize repair"? Was the result different?
Comment 4 Stephan Kulow 2008-05-29 07:02:24 UTC
There were several popups, one because mkinitrd failed and one because grub-install failed. All out of bootloader.

And the widgets I'm talking about are in the bootloader tab below expert tools. And I only tried expert tools, no other options. I can try that later.

I can see such error during the write of new bootloader configuration...
Comment 6 Jiří Suchomel 2008-05-29 08:51:28 UTC
/mnt/sys, /mnt/dev, /mnt/proc not correctly mounted before calling Initrd::Write.
I'm not sure if it shouldn't rather be in Bootloader or Initrd code, but having it in OSRBoot.ycp seems to fix the problem.

I first reproduced the buggy behavior and with the new package my bootloader configuration was saved correctly. So I assume it is fixed.
