At the end of the first stage, an error occured during installation of GRUB. I clicked on the option to reconfigure grub options. The first problem was that no target where to install GRUB was selected. I choose MBR and tried again. Second problem: But error message : Error installing grub occured again. I tried again to change the configuration but when I click on Back button Yast simply skipped the Grub installation and reboot followed. After reboot it loaded grub in text mode and wanted to start OS 10.2 but this errors occured: message file not found Error 19 kernel must be loaded before initrd The update from Beta2 to RC2 was without problems. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Here, the problem is that the file /etc/sysconfig/bootloader cannot be read. Because of this, the bootloader type cannot be found out and is just set to a default value. We need to find out the type of the installed bootloader, otherwise yast2-bootloader and perl-Bootloader cannot communicate. Checking why this went wrong here. It seems to have worked in the past. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
