           Summary: Setting WinXP as default boot option in LiveCD install
                    makes the post-install boot WinXP immediately
           Product: openSUSE 11.1
           Version: RC 1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Installation
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com
        ReportedBy: lasse.penttinen@gmail.com

1) Dual-boot installation with WindowsXP using 11.1RC Gnome LiveCD
2) During install make a selection to set WindowsXP as the default boot option
in bootloader
3) Complete install, reboot

The PC booted to WindowsXP without even showing the GRUB options, which lead me
to beleive the GRUB was failed. However, rebooting the PC invoke the GRUB menu,
with options to boot opensuse or WinXP. Once openSUSE was seleted the 1st boot
installation procedure continued.

Not a fatal issue as no damage was done but causes a confusing situation for
WinXP emigrants - especially inexperienced ones.
