I didn't want anything already working to be disturbed by a new additional installation. Those deselects included "set active flag". The result was "no operating system found" on first real reboot. Unchecking the active flag box should never mean removing all flags from all primary partitions if Grub or Lilo are not installed on the MBR in place of generic MBR code. In this case, the only touching of any primary partitions was supposed to be simply to mount them. The / target was a logical. Therefore, the installer should not have touched any part of the MBR on any disk. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
