The configuration from /dev/sda2 says that your the first 512B of /dev/sda2 should be empty but it is not right and it includes GRUB stage1. It can be from previous installation or previous settings of bootloader configuration on /dev/sda2. I don't know exactly. perl-Bootloader (yast2-bootloader uses it) includes only heuristic for detection of GRUB stage1 on the first 512B of partition or MBR of disk. There is not check where point GRUB stage1 or if GRUB stage1 is not broken. It is a binary data. There exist presupposition that if partition includes GRUB stage1 it is valid data. The bug is that your the first 512B of /dev/sda2 includes GRUB stage1 and GRUB stage1 should not be there (bootloader configuration on /dev/sda2) or it points to other partition (wrong settings in this case). It is broken data but it is not configuration file but the first 512B of /dev/sda2. My point of view is that GRUB stage1 should not be there or it has to point to /dev/sda2. You can fix it if change /etc/grub.conf on your /dev/sda2 to: setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0,1) (hd0,1) quit after that run grub-install. (You should boot your 11.0 on /dev/sda2 and then change /etc/grub.conf and run grub-install) It is risk because you have several installed operating systems and it can break booting some of them but it helps you if you decide to install new OS like openSUSE 11+ in future. I am sorry but I am not able to fix it without fixing "broken data" on your /dev/sda2. -- 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.
