Description Michael Meeks 2008-05-12 15:08:46 UTC

I had a nicely booting system of ~Beta2 vintage; I ran "zypper dup" to factory, I re-booted and grub fails to load the kernel for me :-) not ideal.

I attach logs of various kinds; hope they help.

Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2008-05-12 16:12:51 UTC

how does your /boot look like? And your log files do not really say what problem you see

Comment 6 Michael Meeks 2008-05-12 16:55:02 UTC

good point: when I boot it says:

root (hd0,5)
Filesystem type ie ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-<long>-part6 resume=/dev/sda5 splash=silent vga=0x305
   [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3000, size=0x2047a0]
initrd /boot/initrd

Error 14: File not found

Press any key to continue...

~almost the same for 'safe mode'.

YaST is not involved at all, this is issue of perl-Bootloader.

Comment 9 Stephan Kulow 2008-05-14 07:30:40 UTC

ok, you have no initrd - you could have said that earlier :)
