disks not found while booting after upgrading to 12.2

I upgraded my 64-bit 12.1 to 12.2 with “zypper dup”.

OpenSUSE 12.2 does not boot though. Messages being:

.........................Could not find /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_SP2504C_S0WRJ1SP405274-part2.
Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_SP2504C_S0WRJ1SP405274-part2? (Y/n)


Waiting for device /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_SP2504C_S0WRJ1SP405274-part2 to appear: ..............not found -- exiting to /bin/sh
sh: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
sh: no job control in this shell
$

I tried replacing “/dev/disk/by-id/…” with “/dev/sdaN”, using it in fstab etc, but it seems that the disks just are not found - while being in /bin/sh there is just no /dev/sd*.

What’s interesting is that if I boot up with old 3.1 kernel, machine boots just fine. Grub entries are as similar as they can be:

Any ideas what’s wrong?

PS. While upgrading to 12.2 I also got errors described here, but I just kept all the obsolete 3.1 kernel packages, so currently I have those packages installed:

I now tried upgrading from DVD and installation prompted this error multiple times in a row (the screen was not wide enough for the whole error):

Perl-Bootloader: 2012-09-07 17:22:49 WARNING: GRUB::GrubDeb2UnixDev: No partition found for [LEFT]/dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_SP2504C_S0WRJ1SP405274 with 2.[/LEFT]

After rebooting my system worked again though :slight_smile:
