Of course this only happens automatically when there is no other valid partition table or if the user instructs YaST2 to destroy the existing partition table. Automatically destroying a valid partition table and with this all data on the disk is not an option. Reassigning to Jozef, so that he can do the necessary changes in bootloader. -- 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.

For that reason, I support adding Grub 2 to the distribution; this is the "right" fix to the problem. However, as long as Grub doesn't support GPT, it seems unwise to hold to a rigid anti-LILO policy when that can lead to an unbootable system. An alternate approach would be to pop up a message warning the user that the system will be unbootable with Grub 1, and offering LILO as an alternative. -- 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.
