Hi,

after lilo has so many bugs in SLES 11, I tried with grub and just ran
into the first problem:

I've Windows partitions on my hosts and I install grub in the mbr, so
I don't need to activate any partition for grub and want the Windows
partition to stay activated.

I tried all kind of variants in my profile:

<bootloader>
  <global config:type="list">
    <global_entry>
      <key>activate</key>
      <value config:type="boolean">false</value>
    </global_entry>
   </global>

   ...
   <activate config:type="boolean">false</activate>
   ...
   <activate>false<activate>
   ...
</bootloader>

None of them works. Grub still activates my extended partition sda4
(as /boot is in /dev/sda7) and menu.lst contains

##YaST - activate

Looks like AY doesn't handle the activation-instruction.

Am I doing sth. wrong? Is it a bug of AY or YaST?

cu,
Frank
