http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=930341 Bug ID: 930341 Summary: Tumbleweed 20150508 unbootable after install Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 201503* Hardware: x86-64 OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: nrickert@ameritech.net QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.21 (KHTML, like Gecko) konqueror/4.14.6 Safari/537.21 Build Identifier: Installed Tumbleweed 20150508 on laptop, using the DVD installer (64bit). Install is to an already existing encrypted LVM, with "/boot" as "/dev/sda5" using legacy MBR partitioning. My plan was to boot via the Windows boot manager. The initial boot configuration was: boot from "/boot" boot from extended partition set active flag install generic boot code into MBR. I turned off all but the first of those (to boot from "/boot"). I later went back and rechecked. The boot settings had turned on "set active flag" and "install generic boot code". I turned them off again. I then went back into the boot section again. And the same problem. The installer is stupidly insisting on this. I eventually allowed the install to go through anyway. Of course, it would not boot. The active flag had been set to the extended partition ("/dev/sda4") but there was no boot code in that partition. I had to change the boot flags (with a rescue boot) back to the Windows partition before I could boot. I'll note that this did not happen with install of 13.2 to the same partitions. So it seems to be a new installer problem. Reproducible: Always -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
