Booting from the FC4 DVD with linux rescue and reinstall grub with grub-install /dev/sda did it. [This comment has been added as a mass update for all FC4 kernel bugs. If you have migrated this bug from an FC3 bug today, ignore this comment.] Please retest your problem with todays 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 update. If your problem involved being unable to boot, or some hardware not being detected correctly, please make sure your /etc/modprobe.conf is correct *BEFORE* installing any kernel updates. If in doubt, you can recreate this file using.. mv /etc/sysconfig/hwconf /etc/sysconfig/hwconf.bak mv /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.bak kudzu Thank you. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050421 Firefox/1.0.3 (Debian package 1.0.3-2) Description of problem: I updated to the latest kernel version 2.6.12-1.1390_FC4 with yum and after a reboot i only get GRUB on the screen and the system is unbootable. I have 2 harddisks. One is a IDE and mounted at /mnt/backup for my backups and one S-ATA for my system. Grub is installed on sda. I have 3 partitions on the S-ATA harddisk: sda1 is my /boot partition sda2 is my lvm partition with /,/var,/usr,home,... sda3 is my swap partition I booted Knoppix and didn't find any unusual. Everything is on his right place. knoppix@2[knoppix]$ ls -l /mnt/sda1/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50848 2005-06-03 05:06 config-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50706 2005-07-01 18:48 config-2.6.12-1.1387_FC4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50706 2005-07-06 02:06 config-2.6.12-1.1390_FC4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-07-08 12:50 grub -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2138564 2005-06-16 19:43 initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2138296 2005-07-02 17:02 initrd-2.6.12-1.1387_FC4.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2138335 2005-07-08 12:50 initrd-2.6.12-1.1390_FC4.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 94600 2005-03-29 00:08 memtest86+-1.55.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 916318 2005-06-03 05:06 System.map-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 913671 2005-07-01 18:48 System.map-2.6.12-1.1387_FC4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 913671 2005-07-06 02:06 System.map-2.6.12-1.1390_FC4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1951836 2005-06-03 05:06 vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1943918 2005-07-01 18:48 vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1387_FC4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1943925 2005-07-06 02:06 vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1390_FC4 knoppix@2[knoppix]$ ls -l /mnt/sda1/grub/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82 2005-06-16 19:55 device.map -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7540 2005-06-16 19:55 e2fs_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7396 2005-06-16 19:55 fat_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6644 2005-06-16 19:55 ffs_stage1_5 -rw------- 1 root root 957 2005-07-08 12:50 grub.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6644 2005-06-16 19:55 iso9660_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8128 2005-06-16 19:55 jfs_stage1_5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2005-06-16 19:55 menu.lst -> ./grub.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6804 2005-06-16 19:55 minix_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9076 2005-06-16 19:55 reiserfs_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3194 2005-05-24 01:22 splash.xpm.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 2005-06-16 19:55 stage1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 102536 2005-06-16 19:55 stage2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6984 2005-06-16 19:55 ufs2_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6260 2005-06-16 19:55 vstafs_stage1_5 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8796 2005-06-16 19:55 xfs_stage1_5 knoppix@2[knoppix]$ sudo cat /mnt/sda1/grub/menu.lst # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition.
