The system might not boot." this is an error that is indigenous to 11.3 i tried to install 11.3 (downloaded in july) on a gateway nv53 with a 500 gb hdd with win7 already installed i believe something similar has been already reported, but there seems to be no real solution yet this error usually is displayed during install at the installation overview activation of grub into the mbr does not fix the problem after full install, the system does not boot properly on a dual boot system also tried to install 11.3 on a different computer with on own physical hdd -- same issue arose i just reinstalled 11.2 on the same machine 11.3 had this problem, and grub works fine Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.insert install disk opensuse 11.3 and begin install 2.go through installation steps 3.install runs smooth until one reaches installation overview, when under bootloader the following message is displayed: “ Bootloader is installed on a partition that does not lie entirely below 128 GB. The system might not boot." Actual Results: continue with the installation, but initial boot takes you straight to win7 Expected Results: grub menu should appear and opensuse 11.3 should be launchable -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
