As I recall, the grub1 install might do something similar (switch the active flag). However, there's an option to have it not do that. And I always select that option when installing on a logical drive. That option was not available on the grub2 configuration screen. I'm hoping it will get there by the time of the final 12.2 release. Flagging "/dev/sda5" active would not help. I flagged "/dev/sda3" active, since that's what I normally use. That gets me to the grub menu for my 12.1 install. I have an entry in the 12.1 menu to boot "/dev/sda6" (chainloader), and using that got me to the grub2 menu. My personal opinion: If grub is not installed on one of the primary partition sectors, then the installer should leave the active flag the way it is, and perhaps display a notice that the user will need to find a way to boot from the logical partition where it was installed. In any case, if installing to the extended partition will work for future versions, that should solve the problem. I added my comments above just to provide feedback on where there might be problems with M2. -- 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.
