--- Comment #9 from Josef Reidinger
I have a multi-boot configuration and installed (DVD/x86) 11.1 RC1 into a custom partition (dev/sda12), made sure install into root (/dev/dsa12) was only one ticked, confirmed when it returned to the installation selection summary. But it trashed my MBR. Much later, when rebooting the PC, it just went to a blinking cursor on a black screen after POST.
Fortunately, I've been stung before by events like this so I had taken a backup of my MBR beforehand, and it was simple to restore and then use Bootpart to put the 11.0 entry into the NTloader boot.ini file on the C: (DOS, fat16) partition of the drive. If you want my SMolt, I'll give it. More detail, and my generally unfavourable experiences, are here: http://forums.opensuse.org/pre-release-beta/400708-things-annoying.html#post...
If you have complete logs then please attach it...also if you attach your /etc/grub.conf, that could help determine what exactly set to grub installation. -- 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.
