I have looked a bit to libstorage and my explain above maybe incorrect. We use the gpt partition which is with any fat file system and boot flag set as the presumed ESP partition. It seems not check by the ESP GUID (C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B) on the GPT scheme as my thought.
Anyway your problem might be the boot flag not set? Please check system with the command $ parted -l
And set the boot flag on if it's missing $ parted /dev/sda set 1 boot on
And run the installation to see if yast reuse /dev/sda1 as ESP and could evade the chown error ?
I'm pretty sure that the boot flag is not set at this point of the install. I think at least in the case of SLE it is the boot loader install at the end of the 1st install phase that sets the boot flag just before rebooting. I'll try setting the boot flag when I get back to the office. Do you think I can set it during the install and just retry the grub install, or do I need to start over with the boot flag set? I don't know if the flag is persistent with a new installation proposal. -- 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.
