The title of your bug is that your system was killed "permanently". Are you stating that somehow your system was bricked and now will not even turn on? Because that is what I would guess you mean by "permanent". According to your bug's description, you say that the problem was with the bootloader, but that all of your data was lost. The bootloader is installed in the first 446 bytes of your hard drive. It is highly unlikely that any of your data was overwritten or destroyed. If you reboot in the rescue mode, you could likely recover your data. Finally, openSUSE12.1m5 is not even to a "beta" level of development. Any pre-beta (or beta) operating system comes with additional risks and the 12.1m5 installer displays a warning at the beginning of the installation warning of possible data loss. It goes as far to say that it should not be used on a production machine. Looking at what you've written, it seems unlikely that the developers will have much luck reproducing your error. It would be helpful if you detailed what you did to make the error happen, if it is reproducible, what hardware you're using, and what installation media you used (32-bit, 64-bit, DVD, live CD, network, etc). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
