I did a new installation with all partitions of about 100GB. The warning of "The boot loader is installing on a partition that does not lie entirely below 128 GB" still remains. But after the installation grub sees now al the other distroes. (Windows and Mandriva) I think this is caused by the type of GRUB (openSUSE uses the old GRUB version with menu.lst) When I installed for instance UBUNTU I always see all the distros, no matter the size of the partitions and I never see the 128GB warning. UBUNTU uses the new GRUB-PC version, which probes the other distro partitions the right way. (as far as I can see all the "RPM" distroes use the old GRUB with the menu.lst method and has the same limitation of partition size of 128 GB. To cope this problem you have to re-edit menu.lst with the missing title/kernel/initrd lines which is happily easy, using the grub or grub-pc difinitions of the other distroes) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- 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.
