[opensuse-factory] Grub reports: incompatible with system setup in 11.3M2
Hi, I wanted to install M3 on x86_64 system, with has 4 disks with raid-1 (boot) and raid-5 partitions (root, and home partitions) on it, and one separate disk. I want to install M3 on that separate disk, without touching the raids. The install procedure leads me wel to that goal, but when I am to actually install the chosen setup, I get a message saying Unsupported combination of hardware platform x86_64 and bootloader grub. I don't want to risk damaging the raidsetup (although I have actual backup's), so I wonder what's gonna happen if I do install this setup. Anyone any idea?

Take a look at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=581652#c9 I think if you have a working Grub already installed that you can select as I did in that comment to install bootloader to unspecified custom location, then use your existing Grub by adding a configfile stanza to its menu.lst for your M3(?). -- "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

Hi! This is bug 581515 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=581515 and has been fixed in factory already. I think if you just go ahead with the installation and not worry about the warning it might work okay. It did for me, though mine was admittedly a much simpler partition setup. -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Indeed the install goes well for this part. Something else is going wrong, but I'll open a new thread for that. Thanks, Jogchum -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
