Unable to boot after installed an update from 30 May

English Install/Boot/Login

I installed the update from May 30 2013 which contains kernel update.
Kernel version is 3.7.10-1.11. The update required a restart. After it the machine was unable to boot, because Grub cannot find the configured kernel.
An investigation showed that in the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file the configured version was vmlinuz-3.7.10-1.1-desktop instead of vmlinuz-3.7.10-1.11-desktop.
Somehow my grub.cfg file was not properly updated.
I entered in edit mode in Grub (E key) and manually adjusted the kernel and initrd. After the successful boot I modified /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file and now the machine is working properly.

Assuming we are speaking about 12.3 - worked for me:


        echo    'Loading Linux 3.7.10-1.11-desktop ...'
        linux   /vmlinuz-3.7.10-1.11-desktop root=/dev/mapper/system-root   resume=/dev/system/swap splash=silent quiet showopts
        echo    'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
        initrd  /initrd-3.7.10-1.11-desktop

With this amount of information?

They can ask whatever more they need.

Thanks for this info…I was just going to ask if the boot process would update from grub to grub2 . Looks like it is. Sorry about your problem. But, good to know about it.

This worked fine for me as well.

I think you should check if your bootloader is correctly set to grub2.
Have a look in YaST->System->Boot Loader, or in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader (should contain the line LOADER_TYPE=“grub2”).
