Dear Forum,
I have backup hardware the same as my desktop, but after a Restore on the backup hardware
OpenSuse 12.3 will not boot:
Novell missing the fact the Backup Hardware never will be the same
as the original system. I only reason the system boot at all is you
now ignoring /Dev/by id method and booted /Dev/root
Here is more description:
last boot mesg:
started show plymouth boot screen
----
boot log says this:
systemd[1] dependency failed for /windows/G.
===================================================
Even though the hardware is the same the device by ID is slightly different
and so that method fails and the backup hardware will not start up completely.
It boot too the emergency system even though all of OpenSuse is found and only
non primary XP partitions are not found.
The only reason that OpenSuse 12.3 boot at all is the start up script now ignores
Dev/by id and now ignoring /Dev/by id method and booted /Dev/root
must do the same thing for the XP C drive, but
OpenSuse missed ignoring /Dev/by id method for my two other internal hard drives.
Even if I replace my one of my failing drive OpenSuse 12.3 would fail to boot with
the Dev/by id method; because the new drive will have a new ID
and the only time OpenSuse repairs the boot method now is on an install; so any changes or do a restore
to backup hardware and OpenSuse 12.3 can not be easily repair at present.
Since there is no Live-CD with repair tools to fix the boot method like
===========================================================================
BTW DO NOT USE THIS TOOL ON OPENSUSE,IT DOES NOT WORK FOR OPENSUSE.
How about Novell fix this so that it works for OpenSuse?

boot-repair: Simple GUI tool to Repair Grub2 Boot Loader
I tried this tool and it missing one routine "xxxx..." someone commented about
it; the routine is not on the disk and so this tool is broken.
=================================================================================
The particular bug in Grub2 is that if you change from /Dev/by id to Dev/device
this does not change the installation itself; it changes back. And further
Grub2 does not present a list of /Dev/by id, or /Dev/device, or /Dev/by label
to choose from so that one does not make an error in a long description.
======================================================================================
OpenSuse 12.3 is a great op system if nothing breaks, but the lack of repair tools
on a Live-CD is a great defect.
Any suggestion for a non expert? a simple way to fix this problem?
This is so bad for me I am look if other op systems better supported?
Thanks.
