ESRSVE Update to 3.46.00.04 fails by hanging on grub

Getting the same issue here; my only recourse was to restore from a backup. Any updates on this would be helpful.

The bad thing: Support told me, the only solution restore from a backup or re installation.

Sounds not like a well tested update...

Hope the future updates works better, as some past updates also made trouble on my system

For who it may concern. I repaired my installation as follows

Boot with rescue cd same kernel version as the update 

vgscan

vgchange -ay

mkdir /tempesrs

mount /dev/esrsVG/LVRoot /tempesrs

cp -r /lib/modules /tempesrs/lib/

mount /dev/sda1 /tempesrs/boot

mount --bind /dev /tempesrs/dev

mount --bind /sys /tempesrs/sys

mount --bind /proc /tempesrs/proc

chroot /tempesrs

mkinitrd

reboot without live cd

done

What version of kernel was it?  I am trying to re-download the install media for ESRS since my install went to  after the update and I cant get that to download either.  Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I used vmlinuz-4.12.14-95.54-default from /boot from the ESRSVE vm itself for mkinitrd

I have the same problem here, been running ESRS for a while and I had only one update that was working fine ..

Guess I reinstall ESRS.

Hi bayowin,

thanks a lot for the hint.

Will try in future.

I did 2 of my 4 ESRS server via the WebUI and had the same issue. No idea how to fix. I did the other 2 via command line and they updated fine.

I have had updates fail in the past and had to re-deploy the server.

Do yourself a favor and just update/upgrade your ESRS servers from the CLI. It is simple and I have never had a problem doing that way.

zypper refresh

zypper list-patches

zypper patch

shutdown -r now

Works every time.
