I upgraded my 32-bit 11.4 to 12.1 by updating repositories and then running “zypper dup”. I got some error that grub cannot find my hard drive by ID or smth, but I thought it can still handle itself or smth. So I rebooted. Now I can’t boot, I don’t get proper boot loader or anything, just text “GRUB” and continuous beeping from MB.
This is weird, because I’ve update my system with this method since 11.1 or smth and never got any errors.
I have these partitions:
sda1: Windows
sda2: swap
sda3: /
How should I repair my boot loader? In some previous version DVD’s there was an automated repair system which could repair boot loaders, but it’s not there on 12.1 DVD. Can I use an old DVD for that or is it incompatible?
I got it solved by running update from DVD and when the automatic boot loader installation failed, I let it propose a new one and that worked.
I still can’t use my system though, because systemd fails to boot up and booting with system v leaves me without any working USB-devices and also without an integrated Intel NIC.
When I try booting with systemd, I get these messages:

Any ideas what’s going on here? Lucky I still have an old PS/2 keyboard so I can at least try to do smth here…
