Lenka Špačková 2016-10-07 09:46:11 UTC Doc Text Cause: os-prober component used the numeric device mapper device to reference in the bootloader configuration

Consequence: after reboot when the installer disk image is no longer mounted
Doc Text , the number changed thus rendering that entry ususable

Fix: move to using the more stable device mapper alias names rather than the direct enumerated device mapper names

Result: boot entry works as expected

*os-prober* now uses device mapper alias names in the bootloader configuration

The *os-prober* component previously used the numeric device mapper device in the bootloader configuration. After reboot, when the installer disk image was no longer mounted, the number changed, which rendered the boot entry unusable. Consequently, when two instances of Red Hat Enterprise Linux were installed on one machine, one of them failed to boot. To fix this bug, *os-prober* now uses device mapper alias names instead of the direct enumerated device mapper names. Because the alias names are more stable, the boot entry works as expected in the described situation.
