Olaf, are you sure you un-checked the check box for partition activation and for replacement of MBR with generic code? Created attachment 415767 [details] bug674328.tar.bz2 logfiles from the system I did not touch the MBR part. Booting from extended partition was the only active option, I changed it to boot from root partition. It seems the intention of such an *.arch.suse.de autosetup is to boot from sda1, which has a chainloader into the individual logical partitions. How the extended partition got activated, no idea. The other SP1 system I installed yesterday did also not boot, maybe because sda3 was active before I changed the partition layout manually. Now I activated sda1, rerun the grub.conf on sda1 and the system boots sda1 -> sda10 now. I wiped the drive on bach.arch.suse.de and run an SLES11-SP1-install-auto-vnc install now, to see what the resulting disk layout is. After a fresh install, running setup and SLES11-SP1-install-auto, sda1 remains the active partition on bach. I did a manual SP1 install on stein-schneider on another partition, maybe that broke the layout. I will try to reproduce it on bach now. The root cause was maybe my manual SLES11 SP1 install on stein-schneider. On bach.arch.suse.de I had this before and after SP1 install: inst-sys:/ # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 72.7 GB, 72729231360 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8842 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00085eda Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 23 184716 83 Linux /dev/sda2 24 267 1959930 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda3 268 8842 68878687+ 85 Linux extended /dev/sda5 268 1485 9783522 83 Linux /dev/sda6 1486 2703 9783522 83 Linux /dev/sda7 2703 3921 9783522 83 Linux /dev/sda8 3921 5139 9783522 83 Linux /dev/sda9 5139 8842 29744442 83 Linux inst-sys:/ # exit starting slpd to announce VNC... starting yast...

The correct one from sda5 is now attached.

I think that has been resolved in sle12/oS 13.2. |
