Hi,

I have the problem that AutoYaST deactivates my boot partition
(/dev/sda1) and makes the system unbootable. The setup is following:
A partition /dev/sda1 contains a chainloader GRUB. The GRUB is
installed in the boot sector of /dev/sda1. The MBR is the generic MBR.

The XML file contains

     <bootloader>
       <global_entry>
         <key>serial</key>
         <value>--unit=0 --speed=57600</value>
       </global_entry>
       <global_entry>
         <key>terminal</key>
         <value>--timeout=10 serial cons</value>
       </global_entry>
       <global>
          <boot_boot>false</boot_boot>
          <boot_extended>false</boot_extended>
          <boot_mbr>false</boot_mbr>
          <boot_root>true</boot_root>
       </global>
       <activate config:type="boolean">false</activate>
     </bootloader>

The root is /dev/sda5. YaST now makes /dev/sda3 (which contains
/dev/sda5) as "active". But there's no bootloader. I just want the
bootloader configuration module to do *not* activate or deactivate any
partitions.

This is SLES10-SP1. Any ideas?


Thanks,
   Bernhard
