YaST screen shot (German/English)
(openSUSE 13.2 is the only Linux in the last 20 years that I was unable install
and boot)
When trying to install openSUSE 13.2 on a PC that has an old Windows/XP that I
want to keep, my first attempt was to try BtrFS and in an encrypted logical
volume. However it was not possible to boot the thing after Yast completed
installation: Whatever I tried with GRUB2, it almost always ended with "cannot
embed". Even with reading lots about it I could not get it to boot.
Then I decided to start a-new, using LVM, encrypted swap, and mostly ext3.
Again Yast failed to propose a boot configuration (See screenshot and logs).
Not even your worst enemies deserve to get GRUB2: It's a terrible hack without
proper documentation and diagnostic messages (try LILO if you don't believe),
it's terribly slow and a nightmare to configure (vertried to remove or change a
menu entry GRUB2 auto-created?).
Sorry I had to say that...
