Hi,

I installed openSUSE 11 beta3 to my machine next to a 10.3. I set up
bootloader to install grub of 11 to the root partition of it. My grub in
the MBR already had an other linux entry.
When I tried to boot I chose other linux in the MBR's grub menu, than I got
root (hd0,1)
Filesystem type is ext2fs partition type 0x83
configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
error 2: bad file or directory type

~From the release notes I got a clue that inode size changed, so I
reinstalled 11 with 128 inode size of the / partition, and everything
went well.

What is the positive side of change of the inode size?
The negative side I've seen already ;)
The release notes only complain compatibility issues about few ext3
tools for example win's extfs, doesn't say that you have to install new
grub to the MBR.

Should I submit a bug report?

Cheers,
Tamas Sarga
