Both me and the reporter of bug 396444 have a broken vista boot after RC1 instalation (I ignored the problem as I did not boot vista since quite some time, so it could just as well be broken with alpha0).
So I wonder if other's vista is still functional? Unless I know what's causing this, this bug is one of those that will delay 11.0, so please help me.
My system has a broken vista as well. I am sure that it is RC related as this system has not been used for any beta testing till the RC. So yes something in RC1 broke the system.
Looking at success/failure stories, there must be some difference in the way bootloader was installed.
Would it be possible to provide the installation logs and created bootloader configuration files for at least one success and at least one failure story? I suspect different way of bootloader installation to result in different result of booting Vista, especially related to changes done into MBR.
Cannot test myself, don't have a Vista.
Sadly, I did not keep the logs. I reinstalled 10.3 after fixing vista. I
do not want to go through the mess again. I rarely use vista. I needed
to use the machine to get real work done. I will try again once 11.0 is
released. I spent to much time working with the system to get things
working again. I do have my other test systems, but they do not have
vista. I will continue to test RC1 but, not on the machine with vista.
Maybe someone else with vista and the time can do the testing and provide
the logs.
Sorry,
