Description Ladislav Slezák 2006-01-05 09:59:31 UTC

Changing bootloader configuration from LILO to GRUB doesn't work properly. The yast module hangs during write.

Set to Critical because this functionality is used in Xen Yast module which converts LILO configuration to GRUB during Xen domain0 setup (Xen can be booted from GRUB, not from LILO).

/etc/grub.conf is broken:

# cat /etc/grub.conf
root (/dev/sda,0)
install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /grub/stage1 d (/dev/sda,0) /grub/stage2 0x8000 (/dev/sda,0)/grub/menu.lst
install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /grub/stage1 d (/dev/hdc) /grub/stage2 0x8000 (/dev/sda,0)/grub/menu.lst
quit

Bootloader::Core::GRUB::UnixDev2GrubDev

probably is the reason for this.

I've just been trying numerous times to reproduce this. On "bizet", <sf>'s test machine, running beta6, it just works.

If you can still trigger this, please provide an exact description on how to reproduce this. A system with a single, small disk, with only a linux / partition is preferred for increased reproducibility.
