Our image was a bit out of date so we decided to cheat and just do a zypper dup
We don't normally do that we just make a new image but we tested it on a load
of machines and everything seemed fine. Everything worked fine for about a week.
No issues, no problems, everyone was happy. Then Monday six machines failed to
start hanging at GRUB. Today there were three more. Using the install DVD and
doing a rescue fixes the problem. The question is why did they all work perfectly
and then fail. All the machines that fail have one type of motherboard ( an Intel
DH66 ) none of the other machines with other Intel motherboards have a problem.
All the machines that have the problem are identical. You can take twenty machines
install our image then zypper dup them all. Nineteen will work perfectly one will fail.
The HD's check out as Ok. Any ideas anyone - apart from don't zypper dup them ;-)
