Hi all,
suse 8.1 by default installs the grub bootloader. right?
Autoinstallation from a SuSE-8.1 repository, which was copied from a (german) SuSE-8.1 DVD also installs the grub bootloader for me.
But when I switch to a repository which is based on the SuSE-8.1 FTP Distribution the same autoinst.xml configuration results in lilo getting installed.
Ok, LILO being installed on a new system is not something bad, it can happen in different cases, i.e. Root on RAID/LVM or if grub can't be used. But in this case, it's a bug that was introduced after the release of 8.1 and now it's in the FTP dist. The latest update package fixes this.
Interestingly an "interactive" installation from the same SuSE-8.1 FTP still installs grub !?!
I tried without a bootloader resource in the control file. Is there a bootloader resource to force the use of grub as bootloader?
Currently you cant choose, but we are working on improving the options for the bootloader, i.e. password prtotection etc. Anas
