SLES8: GRUB as default boot loader?

25 Feb 2005

      Hello,

we are installing SLES8 with SP3 through HTTP. Although we specified grub as
the boot loader we still get lilo installed by default and have to replace
it with grub in our post install script.

    <bootloader>
      <location>mbr</location>
      grub
      /dev/cciss/c0d0
      acpi=off 3

        <module></module>

    </bootloader>

Hardware are HP server with /, /boot and /var mounted on normal partitions
(HW RAID 1) and /home, /tmp and /usr mounted to LVM volumes (same RAID 1).
All file systems are XFS.

Kernel and initrd in tftp directory are from SP3, we have the driverupdate
file from SP3 CD1 linked to our SLES8 installation root (/autoyast/SLES8),
in yast/order the paths to SP3 CD1 and CD2 are listed as the first entries.

Regards,

Oliver Schwabedissen
