(In reply to comment #17 from Andreas Jaeger)

Andreas, if it's not asked for too much, during your RC1 tests, could you
please also try specifically to install GRUB on a JFs and/or ReiserFS partition
(should be failing for both, / and a separate /boot)?

Still being a very beginner with Linux, based on my very recent starter's
experience with Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 tribe-X and Debian Etch, I already had to
learn, that partitions >15 aren't getting mounted and that apparently in
addition, grub-install has a severe bug, preventing its very installation, if
the targeted FS isn't ext2|3. 

This, in addition to the partition >15 issue ultimately brought me to try
openSuSE, but since so far the installation also failed me due to this bug, I
don't know yet about how the rest would turn out.

But I reckon, grub-install only working on ext2|3 FS should also be severe
enough tor SUSE/Novell to further investigate, unless you are not utilising it
at all, that is.
If desired, I can provide further details and the related Ubuntu bug-#.
