https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=803078 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=803078#c25 --- Comment #25 from Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.com> 2013-03-01 13:19:43 UTC --- I cleared 3 sectors remaining from the ISO9660 image, as advised by Steffen: # dd if=/dev/zero seek=64 count=3 of=/dev/sdb After this, grub2-installed worked just fine, both Michael's version and the original version from openSUSE 12.2. I believe the Suse partitioning tool should do exactly that, to prevent the trouble I went through: if installing to a USB device and beginning of the first partition is beyond 64th sector, clear 64th sector (and possibly 65th and 66th as I did.) Or something like that - I'll let the experts decide of the details. Not that this did not only fix grub2-install in my case, it also altered the label displayed when the disk is being mounted. Beforehand, the old DVD label was being displayed, which was quite confusing. My problem is solved, so feel free to close this bug when you're finished working on it. Thanks a lot Michael and Steffen for explaining all the details and driving me to a solution. -- 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.
