Our goal for yast2-bootloader is to have tool that create working boot configuration for everyone ( everyone from technical side of view, for different storage configuration and different hardware, not to support all personal requirements ). So I would like to ask if anyone have troubles with grub2, that grub2 cannot be used for his hardware or storage setup, so we can handle it before I did it.
I checked now and on my machine, yast2-bootloader is still unable to setup bootloader with GRUB2 ("warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible." / "error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for RAID and LVM install.") With GRUB, everything is configured without complaint and works perfectly.
The only progress I have seen so far is the complaint about GPT without BIOS boot partition. Before, it just said that ebmedding is not possible and it cannot setup the bootloader without it.

If it works with grub1, then please create bug report with logs, so I can check where is problem if we just wrongly detect requirements or problem is in grub2 itself.
Please also post bug number here. But this configuration will be a problem indeed. It has /boot on Linux MD. grub legacy knew nothing about software raid and and could be installed with boot block pointing to block lists on individual disks. That is not possible using stock grub2 tools. Do you have free space on disk(s)? You need really less than 100K and ther is no problem to add extra partition with GPT ... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
