I did test again and it works. What I test?
Clear installation Windows Vista where windows use completed disk. There exist
only one partition /dev/sda1
* start installation openSUSE GMC 11.1
* shrink /dev/sda1
* create /dev/sda2 -> extended
* create /dev/sda5 -> "/"
* create /dev/sda6 -> swap
MBR is not rewritten because there is valid MBR from Vista and yast2-bootloader
also did:
- activated /dev/sda2
- grub settings in /etc/grub.conf setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0,1)
(hd0,4)
If there is found MBR from Windows XP or generic boot code or something else
yast2-bootloader will propose:
- write "generic boot code" to MBR
- activated "boot" partition
- install GRUB
Better and datailed description how it works you can find there:
http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Bootloader_MBR
BTW: I found problem with installing GRUB to extended partition because
extended partition was not in /dev/disk/by-id/... but command fdisk -l shows it
correctly. I am sorry but it is problem of somebody else (kernel-maintainers).
