To be a bit more exact: There seem to be 2 effects. I read some user comments, that speak only of this warning and after the warning the system DOES boot. In my case, the warning appears in the beginning of the installation progress as described already. At the end of the installation progress a message appears, that warns again and suggests to rectify the boot configuration files with a button to jump to the file editor. But the entries there seem to be correct. Even when I change something there, this message keeps coming. If I choose to skip the "correction" then the said effect of boot fail arises.
So, if ONLY the warning in the beginning appears, there seems to be a chance of booting, if in the end of the installation the second message appears, then you are lost.
Does your BIOS support lba32 or just 24? It is important in this case.
I must admit, I am a little bit fed up with openSUSE now. I gave up and installed Linux Mint - by the way, also above 128 GB (but I understand, it uses GRUB 2 instead).
grub2 use different way how to start from partition. GRUB 1 use BIOS to skip somewhere, so BIOS must be able to address space on disc, where is kernel. GRUB2 use different way, where BIOS addressing is not needed. -- 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.
