Downloaded, burned to DVD, and ran the live KDE 32-bit M2. Then, from that desktop, installed to a fresh (non-VM) partition on my only HDD. Install process went fine until bootloader being written (to root, SDA5), then crapped out with message: Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.6.3-1-default Initrd image: /boot/initrd-3.6.3-1-default KMS drivers: i915 Root device: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Hitachi_HDS723020BLA642_MN1220F30K3NZD-part5 (/dev/sda5) (mounted on / as ext4) Kernel Modules: hwmon thermal_sys thermal processor ...

/var/log/YaST2/y2log_bootloader 2>&1' failed with code 256 and output: /usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: error: no such partition. There was an error generating the initrd (1)
Used "try again" button, same message. On reboot, Grub hung without message/prompt, there was nothing in the PBR. So I rebooted using live DVD to desktop then, in a super-terminal did the following, which worked: 1. mount /dev/sda5 /mnt 2. grub2-install --force --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda5 I then tried a straight-up install to the same partition using the M2 X64 DVD (i.e., not live). It did the same thing ... bootloader step crapped out with same message, same place. This time I copied the whole /var/log directory before I rebooted and fixed the PBR, so I have all the "pure" install-created files if anyone wants them. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
