If you use grub-install, you should know exactly what you're doing. OTOH, if you do know your way around, you simply edit /etc/grub.conf and everything is fine. If you are not experienced enough, use YaST. People typing "grub-install /dev/..." is exactly the dangerous amount of half-knowledge that causes unnecessary support cases. Agreed this needs to be documented. -- 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.

Can this bug be expected to be fixed for RC2?
