You have broken GRUB stage1 in the first 512B of /dev/sda7. Adding boot section for other installed OS to new installation is done via adding chainloader or configfile. If partition is bootable (it means if the first 512B includes GRUB stage1) yast2-bootloader uses chainloader otherwise it uses configfile. I can fix it with skip using of chainloader during adding other installed OS to new installation. It means using only configfile but... after discussion with my colleagues the preferred solution is using chainloader. there exist next problem with using GRUB2 and configfile (GRUB1 -> GRUB2). I can help you only fix your broken GRUB stage1 on /dev/sda7 for next installations. 1. Boot your openSUSE 11.1 on /dev/sda7 2. Change /etc/grub.conf to: (delete the 1st and the 3rd line) setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --force-lba (hd0,6) (hd0,6) quit 3. run command: grub-install It helps you with next installations. I am sorry but skip using of chainloader is not accepted by management. :( The bug is not INVALID but I am not able to detect/fix broken GRUB stage1 and finally skip using of chainloader is not accepted. -- 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.
