[opensuse-autoinstall] grub installation?
Hello, I've some problems concerning the automatic installation of grub. I've looked at the official documenation of uwe gansert on his website, but the part about the bootloader is very short. What must I do that the boot loader is going to be automatically installed into the mbr? I tried several options in the autoinst.xml but none of the konfigurations worked really.. .they don't overwrite my mbr with the correct informations. After installation the boot screen should almost look like the original of opensuse 10.2. Here is the relevant information from autoinst.xml: <bootloader> <activate config:type="boolean">true</activate> <device_map config:type="list"> <device_map_entry> <firmware>hd0</firmware> <linux>/dev/sda</linux> </device_map_entry> </device_map> <global> <activate>true</activate> <boot_root>true</boot_root> <gfxmenu>/boot/message</gfxmenu> <lines_cache_id>2</lines_cache_id> <timeout config:type="integer">8</timeout> </global> <loader_device>/dev/sda</loader_device> <loader_type>grub</loader_type> <location>boot</location> <repl_mbr config:type="boolean">true</repl_mbr> . . . </bootloader> It would be fine if someone could point me to my error :) Greetings Winnie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Hello Patrick, I am not sure, but I think it must be <location>mbr</location> instead of
<location>boot</location>

Thanks for the hint, but it doesn't work. ( I thought I tried this before my question also :)) This approach seems to work the best atm: The menu.lst is correct, only a grub-install hd0 is needed to get things working. Another hint was to remove the complete bootloader section and let autoyast handle this automatically. This doesn't work: I got this error: Error 23 while parsing number
For informations: The disks I install on are 80GB SAS Disks. Does anybody else have a suggestion what could be wrong here, or what I can adjust to get things working?
