http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500424 Summary: SMB/CIFS grub install dialog doesn't escape a special character Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 1 Platform: 32bit OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: greg.riedesel@wwu.edu QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer If you select the SMB/CIFS installation method on the initial grub screen, and if the password contains a bang(!), the installer will be unable to load the install environment. However, the text-mode installer does not suffer from this. The text after the bang in the password shows up before the hostname/IP-address in the text-mode SMB/CIFS installer. This is the password entered at the grub screen. -- 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.
