Could you try install bootloader to mbr if GPT partition table used?
I used the default. I think that this writes to a partition indeed. -- 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.
