I'm not saying this to discourage the idea, but if we're going to invest significant time and effort into a solution for this complex problem, I don't think we should be setting peoples expectations too high - the kernel doesn't solve everything ;)
If the installation media boots, that is a significant sign that the kernel is fine. The kernel on the install media is also the same that gets installed (assuming no update). Since the install media has isolinux IIRC, that could indeed point to grub. Now I don't know if yast2-bootloader supports installing extlinux or grub2-i386-pc (instead of grub2-x86_64-efi) to the harddisk, but at least I can dream. Maybe LILO is still selectable, though that sounds worst :-p -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
